Welcome to Cymbal Wiki

A free hypertext Cymbal Book brought up to date for the 21st Century. The old Paiste-only Wiki is in the Paiste portal with lots of new additions. Avedis Zildjian and K Zildjian Istanbul are coming along, although there are some temporary external links back to pages on Black.net.nz during the changeover. The other manufacturers are coming. Creation of user accounts is not automated until all the appropriate configurations are in place. But you can contact me if you want to volunteer to help.
