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.

IMPORTANT: The Berlin meeting is tomorrow, Saturday November 8th, not Sunday as reported above. I think everyone has gotten word already. I look forward to seeing you there! -tb
