Kamala Cymbals

[Attachment: 52183]

Can anybody give me some info about this cymbal? I have one that came with my Pearl 1977 fiberglass set. I have asked the vintage drum collector here but he said he never heard about this brand of cymbals. I read some article and they said this kind of cymbal was used by Ringo Starr once. I'm not sure about the value of it.Cool Dude

The cymbal was Made in England as the stamp states...60`s, maybe 70`s vintage...Not alot of value though...The thinner models sound decent and have some shimmer to them...

A bunch of Kamala cymbals came with some John Grey drums I bought awhile ago...I believe they were also furnished with Premier kits as well...

calfskin should be able to shed more light on this subject...

Cheers

Never seen one before but the lettering on that scoring looks very similar to that found on Zyn or Beverley cymbals. How does it sound?

lengthy chat about Premier cymbals, etc
