How Customized Are You?!! Smoke's Custom Saluda Cymbals and Custom Tempus Drums!

Just because a cymbal is hand hammered does not mean it is hand crafted. There is a big difference. Hand crafted/casted cymbals offer so much more! They are more musical, more expressive, more complex, more responsive and even more versatile. Hand crafting allows the cymbal to have incredible dynamic levels, responding differently at various strike levels. Softer strikes lead to darker/warmer tones while harder strikes, with the same cymbal, releases brighter, more aggressive tones that cut through music. The darker, more mellow tones are still there with harder strikes, but the brighter/higher pitched tones dominate the sound. Combined together, these darker, more mellow and brighter tones offer a wider sound potential range than a machined cymbal and makes the cymbal more versatile. You really get your money's worth. Our cymbals come to life on stage where you, your band mates and your viewing audience will hear and feel the difference. Cymbals are a part of music; Let them be heard! Let them be felt!
