i was on west end of building by door in middle across from blamier drums, i saw a lot of people walking out with cymbal bags but it did not seem out of the ordinary we had 3 guys watching as we loaded always aware sorry this happened to you most likely its a mistake, i hope! have you contacted rob cook?

gary

It was a hard SKB case and belongs to Amedia Cymbals, I am just putting the word out trying to help him find it. Rob Cook has been notified and a police report was filed.

the problem is you see all of the move out happening and really dont pay attention to whats going on around you, you want to load up and move on, and the guys booth i was in is a retired cop so we watch out around were we where, hope you find resolve gary

That sucks big time...in all the years of the show..this is only the second time I recall something stolen..

Problem is...whoever got them,will prolly really like them,and just play them..never sell them..at least for a while....

Sorry to hear. Hopefully someone grabbed the wrong cymbal case and returns them. Do the cymbals have any type of serial number on them? Or ink markings etc? I have yet to see/hear some of them and hear great things about them.

I don't believe that his cymbals have serial numbers on them but they should all have the Amedia Cymbals stamp. Dom and his son were lading out and had brought some cases outside the door (about 20 feet from where had his cases lined up) and were gone for less than 30 seconds and when he come back in one case was missing.

Yes, the cymbals sound amazing, I am actually leaning towards selling off some of my 80's - 90's ZIldjian A's to buy some of his cymbals. Several of his Classic or Vintage series have that warm buttery sound that you would get from an old K but at a fraction of the cost. He had an amazing 26" ride there this past weekend that sold for $300.00!!!! The ride cymbal that he loaned me for one of the kits in my booth had a very warm tone to it but also had a very nice stick ping to is as well. If you haven't checked them out then I would highly reccommend giving them a listen.

Should be easy to find this guy if he goes to ebay, seeing their is NOT ONE single amedia pie listed there..............if one shows up, you got em

There aren't any up there because 1. They are still a relatively new company and there aren't a ton of them out there to begin with. & 2. The cymbals sound good enough that people don't want to sell them once they have them. There is a reason why you don't see certain used gear.

Unfortunately there are still light fingered idiots that make a point of showing up at closing time, for the purpose of theft. Is anyone really that surprised? There are many who attended the show as vendors who eyeball your stuff as well...Sad but true.
