Now I know I sell cymbals so it's hardly surprising, but I find myself with an ever increasing and changing cymbal collection. I got through sickening amounts to find just the right sound I'm after, then start all over again.
This methodology applies equally to those who are into snares.
What I've noticed marks me out as different is that I have absolutely no interest in collecting snares. I have one Black Panther that does amazingly at gigs and recording sessions, and it languishes in the same tuning I gave it years ago when I could be bothered to faff around with tuning the thing (I hasten to add my drums are regularly messed around with, tuning-wise), and I have another Yamaha that matches the rest of my practice kit. That's it.
Yet my cymbal obsession is just endless.
Is there anyone else out there who obsesses over just the one and not the other?
