Thread: Dream cymbal endorsement?

  1. #1

    Default Dream cymbal endorsement?

    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.

    Can I say Roland without getting beat up?

    But, I do envy those real metal instruments too. Maybe Paiste.

    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.

    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.

    Sabian, but really the top 5 or 6 brands are all good cymbals

    Yup, I agree with that too, it is all about personal preference as to which ones sound best to you.

    My first cymbals in 1978 were Zildjian, I like their sound so why change....just my thoughts.

    1. Sabian (Because of the constant development and they are more willing to make signature cymbals and are overall more artist friendly)

    2. Paiste (Because of the vast sound-scape that their full line offers)

    3. Istanbul (Because of the beautiful work and amount of craftsmanship that goes into making the cymbal)

    I tend to agree with Bish, since I choose cymbals by sound and not manufacturer. Having said that, I do seem to gravitate toward Sabian and Zildjian, but I've heard some awesome Meinl cymbals recently too.
