Steph's Cymbals
Steph only plays SABIAN Cymbals. This allows him to dynamically build a drum solo or groove through the full range of playing, from very soft to very loud. His full cymbal setup gives the total orchestral control of sound he needs to go from a tiny splash to a roaring Ride or Crash. This opens the range of expression to go anywhere.
