Amazing cymbals. Love those hats...kind of the perfect all arounders.

[charliecontrino]

Beautiful sounding cymbals! Hats are perfect! That ride on the bottom row left is for me

[drummersteveb]

Wow! Those cymbals sound great! Just wanted to let you know I’ve been really enjoying the videos while I’m recovering. Blessings!

[timwilsey]

I'll be in to check them out this week Steve, that 22 you were playing is lights out

[lentzintl]

Wish I lived closer so I could check them out! But I spoke with Paul last week and he is making me a cymbal! Very excited about his work!

[chewgumer]

A good hand hammered cymbal is such a beautiful thing. If money was short I'd get the best cymbals and buy a cheaper lower range drumkit until I could afford a better one.

[toebee]

They all sound great. Even on my iPhone speakers.

[mellilore]

Great great stuff!!!! 100% mouthwatering!

[jasonb]

A bit more dark than I tend to look for, but beautiful work by Paul! I hope that this new line really takes off for him. Will keep an eye out for other models in the future.

B20 Turkish bronze hammered/lathed by the great Paul Francis! I’m excited for him…I think I took his departure from Zildjian worse than he did! He recently agreed to rework an old 20” Sabian Leopard ride that I found in my collection. We collaborated together and are modeling the idea from a 21’ Sound Lab K Organic Ride I purchased from him at PAS in 2012. It’s a dream come true to work with him directly. A real solid guy and a MASTER cymbal craftsman! CHECK HIM OUT.

Does that Bill Stewart-esque have a unique name or I.D. or weight? Fantastic!

[cymbaljunkie]

If the "Bill Stewart" ride is for sale I will buy it!

[bryandrums]

They are pretty cool, , , , I’m not blown away by them, , , but not bad, , , , I’ll stick with my Zildjians for now!!!

[mrnegronis]

Who's Paul Francis? I never heard of him.

+stevemaxwelldrums *Can Mr. Francis craft downsized cymbals for intimate chambers?* I've a severe overprojection problem on my hands at OMS Japanese Christian, but STAGG® Cymbals doesn't have an authorized dealer in any of Alameda, Contra Costa, and/or San Joaquin Counties (CA, USA).
