What a cymbal!..Up there with the best I own & have ever played! The video soundfile made the decision to buy easy, with the peace of mind of easy returns an added bonus. Great service from Russ meant a quick & effortless secure transaction, with speedy delivery & excellent packaging! I'm already eyeing up the next purchase.

Russ' knowledge, passion & experience as a player (of some pedigree) allows him to provide a swift service, competitive pricing & no nonsense appraisal of each cymbal he sells. His demo videos are accurate representations of the cymbal (with no EQ or any kind of filter) & that's a must when buying cymbals online. I've bought a couple of cymbals from Cymbal Junkie & have been particularly impressed by the quality of the cymbals (& my expectation having been met in the sound of them) & the efficiency of service.

G Wilcox, Walton-on-Thames.

Probably the most inspiring instruments I've ever played! This coupled with excellent customer service, speedy question answering from Russ, & a great pricing left me a very happy customer. I'm sure this won't be my last purchase!

As a drummer, producer & mixing engineer I’m VERY particular about how things sound. I know the affect that microphones & the recording process can have on the tonality of instruments, & cymbals in particular, I am incredibly impressed with the lengths to which Russ at Cymbal Junkie has gone to provide his customers with a true, natural recording of the cymbals. What you hear in the samples is what you’ll hear at your kit. No over-hyped demo recordings & false impressions here! Plus his extensive knowledge was able to point me in the direction of the cymbal set I was looking for, & I finally have my dream set of cymbals that sound as good live as they do in the studio. I can honestly say I will never be parting with them.

Your website is very impressive. A nice clear, uncluttered layout that's easy on the eye - a place to relax and have a look round. I am delighted with my ride cymbal & I have NEVER received an item in dedicated packaging of such high quality, that’s also 100% recyclable. I hope you & Cymbal Junkie continue to thrive. 

D Ashton, Rochdale.

The complete experience of buying this cymbal set was unique & delightful! Everything seemed just right, from Russ's customers service (thoughtful & knowledgeable) to the "take your time domestic feel" in choosing the perfect set of sounds & looks! The relation between quality & price is something hard to find this days, if that's something you are looking for go for Cymbal Junkie.

Cymbal Junkie is an absolute treasure trove for the discerning percussionist. There is a wonderful range of cymbals to be found for all sorts of musical situations. Russ really knows his stuff so you can be confident that every instrument there is high quality. The video sound files are invaluable when making decisions about purchases, & it's so great to see & hear each cymbal played with such musicality, exploring the full range of dynamics & colours available. Communication after purchase is excellent, & the packaging couldn't be better. Definitely my first port of call when shopping for cymbals from now on!

M Pyne, Egham.

I replaced my Zildjian K Customs and Keropes with a set from Cymbal Junkie & have not looked back. The custom ordering process was smooth, spectacularly priced & quicker than expected. I cannot recommend Russ and Cymbal Junkie enough. Thanks!

A Misuraca Faraldo, Surrey.

Such great advise! I came looking for something I couldn't really explain & Russ managed to narrow it down to two great cymbals, which I loved. He even sent a sound file especially recorded for me with those two cymbals side by side, & from that I made the right choice for sure. Absolutely beautiful cymbal. Thanks for all your help!

R Jiang,  Manchester.

I have been very satisfied with Russ's service because he always quickly responded to my questions, sent a very clear sound file which enabled me to listen to the detail of the cymbal, & shipped me very quickly to Tokyo Japan where am located almost on the other side of the earth from UK. I would strongly recommend him, If you are trying to find good cymbals please talk to him!

Y Hayakawa, Japan.

I wanted to depart from the mainstream brands & get something more bespoke. I had a ride on which I wanted to build a new set & described what I wanted to Russ. After several discussions he put a few cymbals sets together for me & sent me my own sound files. After 2 or 3 combination changes in sizes, as well as brands, I made the purchase. And my god, these cymbals are just what I was after! They are a truly matched set, exactly to my specs, & have remained firmly on the kit since!

Philippe, Basingstoke.

Just received a 20" traditional flat ride from Russ Morgan. Great website with sight & sound files & weights of individual cymbals so you can make an informed choice. Next day delivery was excellent with an hour's time slot texted to me first thing.

D Barry, Kent.

After much researching i've now found exactly what I want: a perfect, complex 22" ride that I can't imagine swapping. Don't believe the marketing of the big boys; the cymbals Russ sells at Cymbal Junbkie are properly hammered masterpieces of the highest quality at guilt inducing prices. My cymbal arrived swiftly & safely, is exactly what I expected from the sound file, & I am very happy!

S Nicholson, West Sussex.

It was a pleasure buying the cymbal here. Good treatment & fast shipment. The best cymbal I could have bought. Thanks!! I'm very grateful!

R Martinez, Spain.

Thank you for providing such an amazing online service, from sound files to efficient question replies & delivery. Not forgetting immense satisfaction with the end product.
