Cymbals

Spectacularly clean clear and articulate.
Zildjian's innovative "over-hammering" technique applied to very thin splashes for the first time. Creates a uniquely dry Splash sound with more clarity, a quicker attack and faster decay. Perfect for all contemporary music demands.
Drawing from the spirit of the legendary K Zildjian range, K Custom cymbals are dark, rich and dry and enable today's drummers to utilize complex K sounds in a more modern musical environment. They feature traditional K hammering, plus a variety of additional modern hammering techniques that produce unique sonic capabilities. Recommended for modern jazz, studio, country and medium rock. K Customs are designed with today's diverse music scene in mind.

The 21” Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride combines the articulation that flat rides are known for with the rich complexity of the Foundry Reserve. The result is a flat ride that is full of character and will work in many settings. The 21” size plus the medium-thin weight makes this a versatile ride which is perfect for situations where subtlety and shading is needed as much as straight forward clarity. The extensive hand-hammering builds in a robust character that many flat rides do not exhibit.

Using the 18” XSR Fast Crash as a starting point, SABIAN has applied the highly-effective and successful B8 Pro double-ring O-Zone hole design to a B20 cast cymbal for the first time.

Dark, warm, low-pitched crash. Fast decay. Complex, full-bodied. Very musical.
K Zildjian cymbals continue to inspire drummers today with their deep, warm, and expressive sounds developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey. Elaborate hammering and lathing techniques work the Zildjian alloy into versatile cymbals that are dark yet well suited for a wide variety of musical genres from jazz to rock.

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Thin crashes open easily with a bright punch followed by a warm wash, then decay quickly for a short sustain. With the swift sound arc, these crashes speak with a pure tonality but never getting in the way of other voices.

The 22" K Zildjian Dark Medium Ride is designed to perform in rock and jazz settings with equal effectiveness. This cymbal features a large bell for excellent projection in rock settings, and special hammering and lathing to open up the cymbal for broad tonal complexities in jazz settings. Exclusive "pin" lathing enhances the crashability and gives the cymbal a distinct apperance reminiscent of 1960s era K Zildjians.

Warm, easy to control , with small “trashy” and oriental overtones, the Blast Extra Dry crashes are the right choice for many different applications, from Jazz to Pop music, from Rock to Electro music.
