Crash

The Crash has a crack in the body and a smaller crack at the edge. Mysteriously, however, there is no discernible buzz or noise from these cracks. The crack in the body does, however, act as an in-built ‘attenuator’ accelerating the decay of the crash. These sonic characteristics have been replicated through a careful combination of additional hammering and specific lathing.

Trashy sound, fast attack, deep tone, short sustain

The symmetrically placed geometric holes give this crash a splashy, raw attack with a very quick decay. Great for accents, hand drumming or in a stack with other cymbals.

The Natural Series have been sensitively updated and fine tuned with the purpose of getting back to the main features that have defined this range since its conception.
The New Natural are darker, richer and warmer, they are faster in response and considerably more versatile.
Crashes are lightweight, dark, with fast attack and short decay. The Rides are dry, smooth, easy to control, with frequencies concentrated on the low range of the sound spectrum. The Crash Rides are the perfect compromise between stick definition and light crash qualities. The Hi Hats are full and warm, with a dark chick sound.

This series is the result of more than 80 years of cymbals manufacturing, making Class the most complete and versatile series available. The Class offer more in every respect: more volume, more lively tone, more warmth, more dynamics and more fullness. They cut through in every musical surrounding, from classical music to Jazz, to Rock or Pop.
No other cymbal offers such a broad sound spectrum and so much dynamic potential. The SCS (Sound Control System) allows us to classify every cymbal based on its final weight, using two categories, Medium and Low, giving the drummer a complete coverage of pitches.

Experience denotes our experimental range. From new sound research and co operation with our endorsees, the Experience Series was born. We are able to react rapidly to an ever evolving and fast paced Musical Industry. Experience Series cymbals are limited in quantity and are available as follows:

After a long process of research and experimentation, in close cooperation with our Artist Federico Paulovich, the new “Est.1931 Series” is here, as a tribute to the year of our company’s foundation. “Est.1931” cymbals are dry, smooth, warm with a traditional sound, but updated to perfectly fit new modern music styles. Crashes are dark, warm, smoky, soft, very low pitched, with a soft response and short sustain. Rides are extremely dry, musical, very controllable with an excellent stick definition, but still crashables. Hi Hats feature a warm chick, dry sound, good response and great control.

A truly stunning playing experience for the rock and metal drummer that requires a real musical cymbal. These cymbals are faster and more dynamic, but still retain the power and cut of the original Bionic Classics. The Bionic sets a new standard, simply awesome! Hammered especially deep and wide, then polished to a lustrous golden finish, giving the cymbal added warmth, richness and tonality, the new Bionic Series offers great control and versatility in any musical environment.

Designed in close cooperation with Adriano Molinari (Zucchero), one of our main endorsers, the Vibra move from the concept of the Blast Crash, evolving into a more contemporary and unique sound.
The special hammering process applied to the Vibra is based on the traditional UFIP hand manufacturing method, but with a more intense labour process, to create that special UFIP Vibra tone. This hammering procedure, together with a unique appearance, confers to the Vibra an incredible sound.
The crashes are explosive, with great attack and medium decay. The Rides are controlled with a good stick definition, while the Hi Hats are powerful, dynamic and designed to meet any music style.
