Holy Grail Cymbals: Smoky, Dark, and Complex
The Holy Grail cymbal series embodies the essence of highly coveted vintage instruments. Each cymbal is a unique piece, both visually and sonically, offering drummers a distinctive, complex tone.
Vintage Tone and Unique Patina
These cymbals are defined by their striking and unique appearance, featuring a rich, dark brown "verdigris" patina. This finish is more than just cosmetic—it serves as the crucial final touch that shapes the cymbals' sound profile.
The result is a complex tone characterized by a dry, smoky, dark, and highly musical quality, making every Holy Grail cymbal stand out in any playing situation.
A or K?
Holy Grail cymbals are available in two different 'flavors'. The "A" style models feature slightly enlarged bells and a higher profile for a more pronounced stick sound and increased projection. The "K" style cymbals feature smaller bells and a slightly shallower curvature which yields a darker and more complex tone.
