Welcome to CymbalONE's world of drums!
Here, I – Gunnar Egede Kristiansen – share thoughts, experience and plenty of nerdy detail about cymbals, drums and drum gear.
I trained at the conservatoire myself and have worked in drum equipment sales for more than 20 years. Over the years I've had the pleasure of working with everyone from professional musicians to happy amateurs – and handled more cymbals and pieces of drum gear than I can count.
On the blog, I'll be writing about everything from specific products and buying advice to more geeky posts about cymbals, sound, and the craftsmanship behind them.
Sometimes it'll get technical, other times more practical – and every now and then, probably just something I find interesting enough to share.
So whether you've been playing drums your whole life or you're simply curious, I hope you'll find something useful here.
Happy reading – and do get in touch if you have any questions!
