Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The Masters series was born from an ambitious concept: an initial assembly of twelve ride cymbals, designed as exceptional pieces, entirely handmade from CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sonic ideals across a wide variety of styles. In 2014, the range expanded with the addition of three crashes and two hi-hats, extending the unique sonic atmosphere of the Masters to other cymbal families. This series positions itself as a premium line, the result of decades of cymbal-making expertise and inspirations drawn from the best international drummers.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This cymbal from the Masters series is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers seeking an expressive cymbal capable of bringing a true extra personality to a set. Its quick response and soft feel make it particularly suitable for contexts where nuance is essential: modern pop, jazz fusion, contemporary music, studio work, indie, or refined rock. It will also suit drummers who like to build a "colorful" set, complementing more classic cymbals.
