Cymbals

A tasty balance of stick definition and tonal wash ensures a clean, musical sound at all volumes, with a mid-size bell for playing solid grooves.

These venerable cymbals developed during the 1960’s rapid expansion of popular music were faithfully recreated and re-launched by Paiste in 2005. Giant Beat cymbals offer the big, warm, brilliant vintage sound that takes you straight back to the roots of Rock.

Designed with Akira Jimbo to combine darkness and brilliance. Thin crashes and splashes to project like heavier cymbals due to the unlathed bell.
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.

Their hammered and lathed surfaces, warm sounds and selection of models may be very traditional, but these cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to versatility. Rides with a buttery-soft feel. Crashes that range from dark and shimmering with thin models, to powerful and focused with heavier ones. Traditional tone and sonic individuality come together in each of these cymbals.

Bursting with tuneful, explosive attack, the SABIAN 19 HHX X-Plosion Crash deals out simmering, dark tones boosted by explosive tone. Also available in Modern Bright AAX models. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and Tone Projection design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX Tone Projection is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

Quick and lively built up due to its extra thin edge. The steep bow is responsible for the rapid and mellow-dark sounding decay. A perfect addition to the Jazz Tradition line.

Dark, exotic, mellow sound for special effects.
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.

This set of Pure Alloy Custom cymbals, with their medium-thin weights, produce a smooth attack with a warm body and fast decay while maintaining a bright shimmer and clean sustain. The 14” hihats are crisp and sensitive, the 18” crash responds with a fast attack and quick decay, and the 20” ride has a warm articulation and a clear bell.
