Congratulations to our man in Berlin, Michael Griener on his playing on the soundtrack for The Brutalist, which just got an Oscar for best score— among numerous other awards and nominations!
And since he has been using Cymbal & Gong almost exclusively since 2018 (it took a few years to build his collection), we get to hear some of our cymbals there:
Here is his set up on the recording session— including a 22“ Extra Special Janavar, 22“ Custom China Dizzy Gillespie cymbal, an 18“ Leon Collection cymbal, and 14“ Holy Grail hihats.
Michael has been extremely supportive since the beginning of this venture, helping us reach a lot of drummers in Germany, and orchestrating and hosting meets in Berlin and Dresden. We're hoping to pay an other visit in coming months— stay tuned for info!
A big congratulations for this exciting project, and recognition— thank you Michael!
