Soultone Cymbals
Soultone Cymbals, commonly known as Soultone, is a cymbal manufacturing company based in Los Angeles, California.

Originally, as the proprietor of the Los Angeles drum specialty shop, ''The Drum Connection'', Iki put his first Soultone models on the showroom floor with acoustic drums, so that customers could demo them as opposed to hanging them on a display. Artists known to use Soultone cymbals include * Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses, * Nick Menza of Megadeth * Dave Goode of Mahogany Rush * Eddy Jones of Head East * Veronica Bellino of Jeff Beck and LL Cool J * Nick Smith of Snoop Dogg, * Eric Seats of Patti LaBelle * Ron Allen of SoMo * Jerry Tee of Jerry Tee Live Percussionist * Jerohn Garnett of Mariah Carey, * Adrian Peek of Mighty Joe Young and Roy Ayers * Alex Hilton of Kim Betts * Shane O'Brien of I Killed the Prom Queen ...

Private Company
A privately held company (or simply a private company) is a company whose shares and related rights or obligations are not offered for public subscription or publicly negotiated in the respective listed markets, but rather the company's stock is offered, owned, traded, exchanged privately, or over-the-counter. In the case of a closed corporation, there are a relatively small number of shareholders or company members. Related terms are closely-held corporation, unquoted company, and unlisted company. Though less visible than their publicly traded counterparts, private companies have major importance in the world's economy.
