Boy it blows my mind how fast Craig's cymbals sell! I'm glad he's appreciated -- his work is valued highly. Amen, brother!
My guess is that all of us wild-eyed cymbalholics are well familiar with Craig Lauritsen's hand made cymbals. The Kontroversial series especially (well, to jazz drummers anyway!). If it's new to you, please investigate Craig's website at cymbalutopia.com
He is an amazing artisan, straight shooter, and he's learned his craft from the masters.
So, enough introduction: 14" Kontroversial series hi hats, 911/1014... signed, and dated "Oct 2011"
Sound is available -- but you should know that it is a demo for a buyer of the 22 ride... but there is also a demo of the hats in there, and the occasional touch on Craig's magical "Johan Tribute" cymbal - a one-off creation.
So, the new 14 hats are $500 PLUS the shipping from Australia. These are $400 shipped to the lower 48 US states. International? Please contact me for info. This is a fairly rare opportunity. The cymbals are astoundingly musical. Please use headphones when you listen to the recording...recorded with my Zoom H-1 and my amateur recording skills.
