CYMBALISTIC: OK, gang, we’re heading to Germany once again next week— fifth time, since 2018, I think?— bringing a selection of Cymbal & Gong cymbals for drummers to play, and purchase, if they like them. We’ll be doing a couple of meets, in the usual locations:
DRESDEN – Friday, 7 November – afternoon
Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber – percussion department
Wettiner Platz 13, Dresden
BERLIN – Sunday, 9 November – 12:00 to ~ 2:00pm
Private studio – Brunnenstraße, near Bernauerstraße U-Bahn – contact me for address.
I will also be available to meet anyone individually in Berlin (Moabit) other times from 6-9 November. Reach me by SMS at: +1(503)380-9259. Get on the mailing list at Cymbalistic for group updates.
I’m making a packing list now, I will bring these cymbals, possibly a couple more— hit the link to listen:

If you plan on coming, contact me ASAP if:
- There is something else you want me to bring— special selections from Cymbalistic, or something else I can get from Cymbal & Gong HQ.
- You want me to hold one of these for you— otherwise, first person who wants a cymbal, gets it!
If you’re not in Germany / can’t make it to Germany next weekend: this is likely your last chance to get these cymbals— I rarely bring any home with me. Act fast to get the one you want.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
