GEN16 AE Cymbals in Action

Submitted by Mike The Rep on Sat, 01/22/2011 - 09:23

Everybody at NAMM, including music dealers, drummers, drum teachers, the media and the bloggers were talking about the GEN16 AE Cymbals. Some loved the concept , others the look. Some were interested for acoustic unplugged applications, others saw a solution for the horrible state of teaching young drummers how to play cymbals on electronic cymbal pads. Everybody agreed that this was one of the most innovative approaches for incorporating cymbals and cymbal sounds into the a digital age of music making.
