Last week, we introduced you to “This Week in Drums,” the first installment of a bi-monthly series detailing the latest gear to land at DCP. This week introduces “This Week in Cymbals,” the companion series dealing with fresh pie of the bronze variety. As with last week’s post, today’s post includes cymbals that have arrived at DCP within the last few weeks. Again, we’ll be listing cymbals by manufacturer in alphabetical order AND by size and weight, within each manufacturer (where applicable). We also provide video demos of each cymbal listed below. This week’s installment sees about 40 new cymbals from Bosphorus, Istanbul Agop, Meinl, Sabian, and Paise added to the rotation.

We recently hosted a night with Lennie DiMuzio, who came to share his stories about working in the cymbal industry for many decades. Lennie was on hand to share from his new book “Tales from the Cymbal Bag.” We were lucky enough to have Lennie sign a few copies of the book so that DCP fans who were unable to attend could still get a piece of cymbal history.
You can purchase an autographed copy of “Tales from the Cymbal Bag” for just $29.99 below. If you have any questions about Lennie or the book, please give us a call at 603-319-8109.
