I'd honestly be happy to play any brand, but since this is a dream endorsement scenario, Paiste all the way. IMO they are the best sounding cymbals in the world! However if I did start gigging readily I'd go for a Saluda endorsement. I love the product,the price, and the customer service, and that's what endorments are all about.

DW drums and Paiste cymbals.
I like how they don't take too long to reply to my emails when I attempt to get ahold of them, that speaks well of their service. They even have a support forum as a second option, so it's clear they are serious about what they do, and can be counted on if you need anything. The guy even gave me his name, and even gave me objective feedback on the stuff he sells. Not a lot of companies are willing to give you that, it's a brutal anything for a dollar world but Saluda was honest with me and I respect them for it.

I'm not too picky, I'd be happy with any endorsement, but I could probably see myself supporting a lesser/unknown brand.
Zildjian paiste sabian i dont like cymbals from any of the other companies. Heck i hardly like sabian as is. Only other companies i like are meinle and soultone but those cymbals are just ok

I'd endorse anyone as long as it was 'free stuff'.
But seriously, after playing Zildjian, Paiste, I would be a risk taker and go with one of the 'new kids': Dream, Soultone, or Saluda
any, im a cymbal whore. and any line that used a b8 blend or better, except maybe sabian b8's, (even so, i have to say i still dig the dry attack on the hats).
don't put off till tomorrow what you can put off today

With an endorsement I would pick the best cymbals from the company that endorsed me. All three have great top-end products. I use A Zildjian cymbals so that is where I would go with a choice. Then select the preferred units from among their entire offerings.

Any other good company i could just have custom cymbals made then plus free cymbals
Sabian!!!
Zildjian, although it's really all I've ever used. I'd be interested to try out some others, but I see no reason to move away from Zildjian right now. I need to upgrade some of my Zildjian cymbals though.
Holy thread resurrection. I probably wouldn't want an endorsement. I'm kinda finicky about cymbals. Drums, I could care less about.

Just heard Dream's entry level cymbal pack from a YouTube video taken at NAMM 2014. They sound not bad for a starter pack; I was quite surprised.

I'd probably have to go with Sabian as that's what almost all my cymbals currently are and I love the sound. However, Dream, Saluda and Zildjian would all be good options as well since they could do custom stuff.
Istanbul agop, paiste, and zildjian.
