Mike Johnston is a highly accomplished percussionist and drum education guru. Along with touring the world with Filter and Steve Ferrone, he also started mikeslessons.com, which has grown to be one of the largest drum education online websites. When it came to putting a package of cymbals together, Mike needed incredibly musical-sounding cymbals that not only work in a variety of musical situations, but that also sound wonderful on their own. At the heart of his cymbal pack is his signature Transition ride cymbal, which responds with the perfect transition from articulate sticking to wide-open crashing.
Bonus crash cymbal!
Along with the Sand series Byzance cymbals, this 4-piece package also includes a bonus 18-inch extra-dry thin crash cymbal. This crash is a superb choice for a different sounding crash, as an accent effect cymbal, or for when you want a really trashy riding effect. And it blends with the other cymbals in the pack immediately.
