China & Effects Cymbals

Using trickle down technology gleaned from years of developing some of the world’s top selling cymbals lines like Evolution, Legacy, and even Artisan, SABIAN HHX Complex has redefinied the modern sound. With Hand Hammered and HHX hammering techniques, HHX Complex O-Zone Chinas deliver dark, raw, aggressive bite, while employing SABIAN's historic, innovative 2-hole design pattern to amplify the characteristic trashy sound you would expect . The combination of the traditional China profile together with SABIAN's O-Zone holes is the ultimate Chinese cymbal design.

Strong "China" sound. Medium decay. High-pitched.
Zildjian's classic sound is embodied by A Zildjian and immortalized in countless recordings by the greatest drummers of all time. Known for their versatility, these bright cymbals range from paper thin and delicate to extra heavy and cutting. Recent adjustments were made to the curvature and weights of many current models to capture the sweet spot of the classic A sound, producing crashes, rides, and hats that reflect today's musical styles.

With a double 6-hole ring of response-enhancing holes, the 16" B8X O-Zone responds rapidly with a combination of bright explosion and dirty agitation.

Thinner than a cup chime or ice bell, but much thicker than a splash, the 6.5” AA MAX Chime sounds great on its own or you can mount it upside down on top of other cymbals like Mike does. Crisp, clear and well defined while also fitting in with any melody.

Authentic "trashy" Chinese sound. Very fast, explosive response with rapid decay.
The Zildjian Oriential FX cymbals are a wonderful accent for adding a bright, trashy sound to your kit. They deliver an explosive response, but with a rapid decay.

By using a B10 bronze alloy that has a higher content of tin than the standard Classics Series cymbals, high-tech computerized manufacturing, and a brilliant finish the new MEINL Classics Custom cymbals deliver outstanding sound qualities with a stunning, modern look. They deliver rich, musical sounds for ambitious rock and heavy drummers.

Hand-hammered and completely unlathed, Byzance Dark cymbals immediately hit the sweet spot with crashes that open up just enough, then get out of the way. The hihats and rides provide clarity, cut and volume, along with a prominent dark tone brought out by their unique surfaces. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze and hand-hammered into shape. The surfaces here are left unlathed creating the dark finish except for the Spectrum Hihats and Ride which are partially lathed in a spiral pattern.

The different sizes and shapes of the cut-outs gives the cymbal a unique look and a wide spread and a trashy, noisy sound. Recommended for quick accents and punctuations.

TAMA CYMBAL STACKER

The CSA15 is a straight-forward cymbal stacker useful for adding small cymbals to your setup using the M8 threaded cymbal rod.

QUICK-SET TILTER (US. PAT.NO.7385127)
TAMA's patented toothless Quick-Set Tilter marks another TAMA advancement in hardware. Relying on basic principles of physics, the Quick-Set Tilter holds its position using the friction of six smooth metal disc plates instead of traditional toothed gears, so you can adjust it to any desired angle. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than a conventional gear tilter.

QUICK-SET CYMBAL MATE (US. PAT.No.7629526)
By simply gripping and pressing the two buttons on the both sides, users can attach and remove the Cymbal Mate with just one touch, making cymbals setup/breakdown a snap. Like our standard Cymbal Mate: fine adjustments to the cymbal's swinging motion can be made by rotating the unit.

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.
