Cymbals for rock and metal
Cymbals that cut through – and get heard.
Rock and metal demand more than just volume. You need cymbals with clear attack, strong projection, and a character that holds its ground – even when the guitars are tuned down and the amps are set to 11.
Here you’ll find our cymbals that are particularly well suited for exactly that.
What characterizes great rock and metal cymbals?
Powerful attack and clear definition
At high volume, every hit needs to cut through.
A great rock crash opens up quickly and cuts through the mix without getting lost in noise.
Strong projection
When you’re playing alongside distorted guitars and massive low end, your cymbals need to project – both live and in the studio.
Stable and controlled ride
Metal and hard rock place high demands on the ride cymbal.
It needs clear stick definition, a bell that cuts through – and enough control for fast patterns.
Durability for heavy playing
Heavy hits demand robust cymbals.
Thicker weight classes and stronger profiles can provide extra resilience – without compromising musicality.
For drummers with power in their hands
Whether you play classic hard rock, modern metal, prog, hardcore, or anything in between, it’s all about control at high speed and high volume.
The right cymbals don’t just make your setup louder – they make it clearer.
