Looking for pro-approved cymbals to add to your kit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymbals are an essential part of a drummer’s toolbelt, adding character, dynamics, and expression to your playing. Choosing the right ones can enhance your overall sound and make your drumming experience even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team of drummers at Drumeo have personally tested all of these cymbals over the span of our careers and can vouch that every cymbal on this page will get your kit singing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve included some affiliate links – which means we’ll get a lil’ commission if you buy one of these cymbals – but we chose every product here. No one paid us to review these cymbals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four most popular cymbal companies are Sabian<\/a>, Zildjian<\/a>, Paiste<\/a> and Meinl<\/a>, <\/strong>so in this guide we’re focusing on the brands and models you can easily find online or at your local drum shop (all prices here are in USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are a ton of awesome boutique brands out there, and after trying some cymbals at the store you might discover you love Istanbul Agop, Dream, SoulTone, or another small company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
