Soultone cymbals stand out from other brands that I have tried because they have a beautiful warmth that just hits you the right way. Plus not to mention, they look awesome, sound great with any kind of music, they feel great to play on, and they’re HAND MADE! I mean, come on. Hand made cymbals of this quality? That’s love right there.
Soultone cymbals are superior to any other brand because they are truly universal cymbals. Being a drummer with a background heavily leaning in the genres of metal, jazz and funk, I can honestly say that they sound great with any style of music, therefore I recommend them to any and all drummers.
Soultone has helped me as a drummer by giving me a platform to promote myself and my passions, as well as they have helped me to start building my ideal cymbal setup! Lior has been my primary contact thus far, and he has been super insightful, reliable, and quick to answer. I also got help from Tomer when I was having trouble deciding on which cymbals to get in the first place. We met over a video call and he was very patient with me as I made him run around and grab a bunch of different cymbals for me to hear. Thanks guys!
