CYMBALS & STAX
We wanted to make a line of FX Cymbals and Bells with different tonal values than traditional cymbals and bells, while still keeping the signature "CP look" that we have with all our metal products.
PLEASE BE AWARE
Our FX Cymbals are more flat than a traditional cymbal and will not ring as long as a traditional cymbal!
They are made of steel and have different looks, feels and sounds.

With CP FX Cymbals, the stretched metal of the bell, due to hand-hammering, makes our bells not quite as loud as a traditional cymbal bell but still loud enough to cut through the mix.
Our cymbals are not lathed or pressed with a hydraulic machine, they are cut, hammered and shaped by hand.
Each is individually heat-treated to bring out the unique colors and tones of the metal.
