Jonathan Haas'S SETUP:

  1. My favorite Zildjian cymbals are the big kahunas - the K Constantinople 18" and 20" and the Classic Orchestral 22" and 24". My favorite crashes are those that personify a composer's desire to express elation
  2. joy
  3. and triumph. There is no better instrument that can open the heavens and let the sun shine in than the symbolic legacy of Zildjian cymbals.
