036 – Find the Perfect Cymbal with Greg Zeller (Sabian Sound Team)

In this podcast, I talked to Greg Zeller from the Sabian Sound team who explains what it takes to find the perfect cymbal.  Greg has been with Sabian for years and gives great insight on what should go into finding the perfect cymbal for you.  After listening to this interview you will have a complete education about cymbals…probably much more than you had before.  I can say that I learned a lot about what makes a cymbal sound the way that it does which will definitely help me in my future cymbal selections in the future.
