There is no best in my opinion, but Mark Guiliana, Dave King, Bill Stewart comes to mind. Insert jazz guy here ____

Phil Collins and Jerry Morotta ... their cymbal work on Peter Gabriel's third and fourth albums remains to this day as the benchmark for restraint.

Ya'll are just throwing out any 'ole good drummer's name. Can you back up the cymbalist claim with a video of their cymbalic skills?

I googled cymbal solo and this is what I got..

I can’t say Carter McLean is “better” than many of the legends named already, but sure for sheer touch, organic textures, voicings and groove, he’s definitely got my attention in the past couple of years.

Tony's cymbal playing with Miles in the 1960s, and even the sound of the cymbals he chose, completely changed how drummers approach cymbals. The sounds he achieved on "Miles Smiles" is truly amazing.

Manu Katche was a big deal mostly in the 90's with his splashes. Along those lines, Carter Beauford made me rethink hi hat patterns.

Best cymbal player? Mr Kiko Freitas. His signature ride sound awesome too!

Cheers!

He plays Paiste now. Never heard of him until I saw a promo he did. Super good player.
