CYMBALISTIC: Get 'em while they're hot

CYMBALISTIC: Service announcement— cymbal business has really been cooking this winter, so if you have your eye on any of the wonderful Cymbal & Gong cymbals on my Cymbalistic site, it's best to act fairly quickly. Right now the average lifespan of a cymbal in stock before getting sold has been about 2-6 weeks. 

...like this lovely 22" Holy Grail Medium Jazz Ride, “Antony”, the sole survivor of a batch of outstanding 22s I got back in December. At 2692 grams we rarely get them in this weight range. It's very versatile, about the same weight as the average Constantinople ride.


...or “Hotaru”, a 1651 gram 20" Midnight Lamp jazz ride— that's what C&G calls their Turks. I special order them a few at a time, and they're slightly different than C&G's usual thing. These light Turks are very controllable, fun to play, and are great for recording, and have been very popular with my customers lately.


If you're on the fence about something, let me know, and I can hold it for you for a few days so nobody else grabs it— at least giving you the option of first refusal. Hit the EMAIL TODD link in the sidebar on this site, or use the mailing list form on the Cymbalistic site

We definitely need to talk about getting you to Europe in the spring.
These cymbals are way too good for you to just keep them in the US.
Those 14″ Holy Grail Hihats "Eugene“ on your website sound pretty sweet, by the way.
Let's organize another "Tupperware" party here in Berlin soon.
The last ones were a lot of fun.

Yes! Meets also in the works for Seattle, New York, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, whenever omicron finishes doing its thing. Let's talk soon!
