Bosphorus Cymbals endorse Eric Starr
January 30, 2007 – 9:09 am
Eric has recently become an endorser of Bosphorus Cymbals. In his own words:

I look for diversity and contrast in my cymbals. This company understands the importance of creating cymbals that offer delicate shimmers and explosive blasts: truly the best of both worlds.
