Honestly this dude should do all the playing demonstrations. He’s got groove for days and really knows how to play whatever he’s demoing super musical and dynamic.

[SeanZetterlund]

That 22 inch Stellar ride stole the show, crisp, clean, and warm sound!

[dancalabrese]

Some of the most musical cymbals I have heard in a long time. Every one of them sounded great.

[rickjones]

my gosh. not a bad one in the bunch. They were all glorious!

[chrisl]

It's great to see Tom back in the fold. Excellent playing.

[jamesberlo]

Zildjian may do a drive by Paul's House?

[CrappyProducts]

Damn those do sound good, thanks for showcasing them

[BBT]

Paul Francis and another colleague who tagged along with him Sarah Hagan teamed up to create the brand. When you have two people from the largest cymbal makers in the world, Zildjian…hard to fathom what would have emerged!

[maixce]

These are amazing☀️ Some of the best sounding cymbals I’ve heard

[edgardotoro-quinones]

Forget the cymbals, the kick sound, uffff, deep ! Nice sounding cymbals...🥁

[tygale]

Delicious instruments! Demo guy has some beautiful touch!!

[joc]

Really, really nice cymbals (yeah, like I need more), the Joyful Noise snare sounded killer, and great playing Tom. Thanks DCP, always look forward to your videos.

[nathanwilkerson]

Great demo Tom!

Those Craftsman are sweet. Especially that first Stewart 22" ride. Real old school vibe!

"Happy Drumming"

[jonashellborg]

These sound incredible. All of them great, just different flavours of great.

[ccgillett]

Those are amazing sounding cymbals, and the guy playing has very serious chops, wow.

[robmiller]

Those sound amazing. Holy cow. Those hats are money. Not a bad apple anywhere. Kudos to the craftspeople.

[eitansefi]
