ARTIST'S CHOICE CYMBAL SET: MATT GARSTKA
World renowned drummer Matt Garstka of Animals As Leaders has chosen these cymbals from his full kit, as the cymbals that make up his Artist's Choice Cymbal Set. His signature Byzance Equilibrium hihats, ride, and china, with the addition of the Byzance Jazz Extra Thin crash strike a balance of attack, tone, response, and projection. This set is provides a broad range of expression and is well suited to many styles of drumming.
14" EQUILIBRIUM HIHAT

The Equilibrium hihat is all about that strong definition when you play them with the tip of the stick, plus a slushy, open bark sound. It's perfect for choppy hihat patterns and has the definition and articulation you need.
18" Jazz Extra THIN CRASH

Matt's go-to crash for years, this cymbal works in any style. Its thinness gives it an insane open-up factor, great for cymbal swells and still has awesome articulation.
20" EQUILIBRIUM CHINA

According to Matt, this china cymbal is the best on the market. It's got that classic china sound with just the right amount of trashiness, plus it's still articulate enough to cut through the mix.
22" EQUILIBRIUM RIDE
