Signature Series · Cymbal Planet ID: TCR20JC01
Condition: Brand New Status: In Stock (Ready to Ship)
Weight: 1577g Size: 20”
Extremely thin, unhammered, and intentionally warped in their shape.
The reason for the water connotation is when they are struck the entire cymbal vibrates in such a way it resembles vibrations through the water. The incredible feature is that the sound produced mimics the sound of a concert gong/tam-tam with only the fraction of the size and weight, which allows for easy mounting on cymbal stands. Because of their extreme thinness, they are particularly responsive to hand/finger strokes and mallets. These cymbals are excellent for creating dramatic effects with a lightweight, easily transportable, and mountable instrument.
