Even Paiste’s Cymbal Bag is Top Notch

I utilize this bag to keep a specific smaller collection of cymbals on hand for a weekly gig. The zippers seem strong, the backpack straps are easy to get in and out of, and the cut allows freedom of movement for schlepping other items. The large red logo patch makes it easy to pick this bag out of the sea of other black drum and hardware bags and cases that I use. It’s a top notch cymbal bag at a reasonable price; I’m digging it!

Top Line Gretsch is Stylish & Strong

I love the Gretsch hardware. What few people know is that these brackets fit the older Jasper shells without having to re-drill. I have two vintage sets and I have replaced the old spindly mounts with these and also their diamond shaped counterparts. Super durable but heavy.
