Here's a track recorded during a jam-session on which you can hear my cymbals being played by British studio/session drummer Emre Ramazanoglu. He has been playing my cymbals for a while. As you'll hear, he uses a selection of my trashier cymbals.

To rule out any misunderstandings, he doesn't endorse my cymbals but he has given up his Zildjian endorsement because he wanted to play my cymbals.
I simply don?t give endorsements to anyone since the ?blanks? I prefer to use (mainly professional Zildjian, Sabian and Ufip cymbals) are far too expensive and my profits are very low as it is. Also, I don?t even charge half of my work when modifying other people's cymbals. So if you see anyone famous playing my cymbals? they have payed for them, just like anybody else.
Anyway, Emre is awesome drummer and he is also an engineer/producer, so I am proud that he prefers to play my cymbals. He has recorded and worked with artists such as
Shakira
Prodigy
Tricky
Afrika Bambaata
Alison Moyet
Sneaker Pimps
Keith Tippet
Jim Abbiss
Neil Macllellan
Mekon
Emre also plays drums (and my cymbals) on the forthcoming Lou Rhodes album (out in september), which he has also produced. Lou Rhodes is the singer from the British triphop-band Lamb.
