CYMBALISTIC:We had a fun event at the Seattle Drum School on Monday evening. It was small but mighty, but we’re a small but mighty operation. Response to the cymbals was very enthusiastic, as always.
Tim (of Cymbal & Gong) and I are getting our chops together for these types of things, hopefully we’ll be doing more together.
I got a little video, as I get it I’ll share media from others who were there:
The cymbals being played at the different times are:
0:00 – 15″ Holy Grail hihats / 17″ Special Janavar crash-ride “Laurie” / 22″ Extra Special Janavar “Donna”
1:21 – same as above, with 18″ Holy Grail crash “Gene”
1:56 – as above, with 20″ Mersey Beat crash-ride
2:16 – as above, with 22″ Special Janavar crash-ride “Valentine”
3:34 – 22″ Extra Special Janavar “Donna” / 18″ Holy Grail crash “Gene”
Also at one point was a little China cymbal “Xia”, which was sold.
Thanks to my brother John Bishop (who you see playing in the video) for pushing the thing along, and Tim Ennis of Cymbal & Gong, Steve Smith and all the rest at Seattle Drum School, and everyone who came!
NEXT UP: GERMANY – OCTOBER ’23! Frankfurt / Berlin / Munich

Cymbal, and player, and stick, and microphone. UPDATE: It took a little longer than I thought, but the cymbal “Eloi” mentioned later in the piece has been sold. I’m sure there will be others. In […]

Brunnenstraße baby! Where it all started. And my guy buying the set may have me ship his, which means I'll have more things to show people in Berlin.
