On Soultone Cymbals, “I first heard Soultone Cymbals at the Winter NAMM show and they blew me away. I never forgot how great they sounded and my intuition couldn’t have been more spot on. They are a pleasure to play. As a freelance musician, I need instruments that work for whatever situation I my find myself in, and Soultone covers all bases!”
