Lots of action

Details at cymbalistic.com
UPDATE 2:
Had a great time at the Celebration of the Drum event on Wednesday. A really nice lady, a student of Seattle drummer Matt Jorgensen, won the 24" Holy Grail, which was very satisfying. Steve Korn, who was performing at the event, bought the other 24. Got to hear and hang out with a lot of great drummers.

Next: DRESDEN / BERLIN / MUNICH




Several big things coming up, mostly cymbal-related, one performance related: doing a couple of events with the Ballard Jazz Festival, then doing another Germany tour, delivering and showing Cymbal & Gong's wonderful cymbals, ending with a trip to Istanbul to meet the company's cymbal smiths, and visit some other cymbal foundries. 

A lot cymbals will be going to Germany, so if you want to order a cymbal, now is the time to do it— stock will probably be limited for awhile after the tour. Go to Cymbalistic.com to see what we have, and let me know what you like.   

If you're in Germany and want a particular cymbal, let me know, and I will bring it. Prices are lower if you pay in advance. I will be limited to what I can carry, so choices may be limited by the time we get to Munich. Another reason to order in advance!

Celebration of the Drum - Ballard Jazz Festival
Company owner Tim Ennis and I will have a display of Cymbal & Gong cymbals for people to see and play.
