Can I say Roland without getting beat up?
But, I do envy those real metal instruments too. Maybe Paiste.
Hey guys, if you could be endorsed by any cymbal company which would it be and why? (Unless you already are)
My top three in order would be
1. Meinl
2. Sabian
3. Zildjian
I chose Meinl as my dream endorsements because they have the largest array of sounds for sure. Between their extra dry, dark and regular cymbals I would be in heaven, any of their lines above mb8 I could see myself using.

2. Sabian
3. Meinl

I clicked on this thread thinking "Dream" referred to the cymbal company called dream. They are fairly new (I think, to me they are...) and I haven't had a chance to try any of them. I would really like to look at the dark matter ride they have. I don't know why, but I guess they chose a good name for it because it really intrigues me.

Dream, Zildjian...uhhh, all of them.
Honestly, after reading your post, I realize I would go for anything! Endorsement would be awesome, even if it were just a stick endorsement.
Saluda would be pretty cool, too.

Theres no beating people around here but would you mind getting tarred and feathered??
My vote goes to Zildjian.........I just love the sound of their ACustom line and have used them for the past 30 plus years. Old habits are hard to break and why ruin a good thing you have going for you at that point, just my opinion.
