Cymbals

With a full range of frequency and sonic versatility, the STRATUS series is designed for the modern drummer. Crafted from B20 bronze and featuring STRATUS high impact hammering, this series features clear articulation, a warm wash and musical spread, and strikes the right balance between versatility and professional performance in a beautiful design.

The 18” STRATUS China model was one of the most popular models during our extensive R&D collaboration with our dealers and distributors. It delivers a quick biting attack that isn’t overbearing and has a fast decay.

Crafted from pure SABIAN B20 Bronze using trickle-down technology from award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion cymbals, XSR delivers unpresendented sound and performance at a price designed to fit your cymbal budget. A heavy, powerful pairing, SABIAN 14" XSR Rock Hats respond with strong, bright and crisp stick definition when closed, and a loud, solid roar when played semi-open. XSR is not a budget series, but rather a line of smartly-priced cymbals that would not be out of place on any drum kit, on any stage.

This 24" beauty is designed to generate wide variations of sound. Thin in weight, it has a dark sound with plenty of overtones. The cymbal can be used as a straight ahead ride capable of handling light playing in a trio setting to a rock ride that cuts that cut through loud, amplified settings. It features a smaller bell and exhibits a moderate degree of edge wobble. Drummers like Joey Castillo, Travis Barker, and Ronnie Vanucci have already made it their main ride.
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.

The Byzance Foundry China Ride delivers an articulate knock that china rides are known for; however, this china can also be delicate and sensitive when needed due to the thin weight. Don’t be fooled by the weight though as it easily opens to a roar, that you not only hear but feel, due to the large size and complex hand-hammering. The four rivets add just enough sizzle to carry this cymbal along when riding and will be perfect for a long-decay crash accent. Play this cymbal with a mallet, and you will add a whole new dimension of sound to your arsenal.

With its dark tone, the highly-responsive SABIAN 19" HHX Legacy Crash is a punchy, dark and complex cymbal, capable of playing loud while remaining always musical.

Fast, explosive sound with immediate attack and smooth decay. Clean "China" sound with characteristic A Custom shimmer and texture.
The choice of renowned rock, metal and fusion drummers, A Customs feature a brilliant finish and radical new hammering techniques that deliver a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound, but with a contemporary feel. A Customs are not too dark and not too bright with a fast response and clean attack.

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 Ride has a sparkling stick attack over a warm bed of wash. The bell has a bright snap that stands out in any musical context. When crashed, these rides really open up for bold accents and long sustain making them versatile cymbals that will cover several musical applications.

Paiste 900 Series cymbals are crafted from 2002 Bronze in a sophisticated hybrid manufacturing process refined by Swiss hand hammering and lathing. Innovative design provides 900 Series cymbals with greater flexibility, resulting in a giving feel and outstanding playability at a modest price.
