Hello Indaba.  Welcome to another week.  It's Monday and that means it's time to talk shop.  This week I've chosen a very divisive issue in the drumming world: cymbals.  Traditionally, there are two big cymbal companies, Zildjian and Sabian (Sabian was actually started by a disgruntled Zildjian family member, believe it or not), but other cymbal makers out there get their due and proper as well.  You have Paiste and Meinl plus smaller, pricey shops like Istanbul.  What I want to ask the drummers of Indaba is this: What kind of cymbals do you recommend? But not just that, I want to know...

• What kind of hi-hats you use?
• What kind of crashes you use?
• What kind of rides and splashes and chinas?
• Do you use all of the same brand or do you mix and match to fit your needs?
• What is your favorite cymbal?

So have it at in the comments and have a gret week.
