I have played Zildjian cymbals years ago, and up until this past year I have performed using Sabian cymbals.

I saw an ad for Soultone cymbals and went to their website. The craftsmanship of the cymbals that I saw impressed me, something I did not get from my previous cymbals.
Soultone offers many different types of cymbals and the materials they are made out of. They had excellent videos to watch where they demo every type of cymbal in each collection, which is something that really won me over. After listening to all of the different brands of cymbals, I settled for the Vintage collection. The cymbals really cut through the high end and had a nice sustain to them. The sustain wasn't a long one, but it was just enough that it didn't warrant me having to mute them from ringing that much at the end of a song.

After my purchase of the cymbals, Laura reached out to me to make sure that I was happy with the drums and to see if I had any questions. I received a Soultone t-shirt with my initial purchase, something I didn't automatically receive from other brands. I ended up purchasing a hat, as I wear one at each gig. Another nice thing is that I am always getting emails from Soultone about cymbal deals that are available, as opposed to hearing from a vendor who sells a brand's cymbals.

Solid performance on the cymbals, as well as outstanding customer support, has earned this drummer's respect and business for a long time in the future.
