We live in a golden era where independent cymbal makers are creating more beautiful instruments than ever before. Timothy Roberts joins me this week to share his take on the landscape of indie Cymbalsmith's and gives us tons of great information on the the background of the current indie movement, the difference between makers, what you should be looking and listening for in a boutique cymbal, the art of modifying existing cymbals, and tons of other great info.
Tim runs Timothy Roberts Cymbals, Stack Ring Percussion, and Revere Drums where he produces very high quality instruments for people all over the world.
