Midnight Lamp™ Cymbals: Dry, Rich, and Ghostly
The Midnight Lamp™ cymbal series provides a mysterious blend of performance characteristics, offering strong, dry stick definition combined with a dark, complex timbre. They deliver a unique sonic quality that is highly useful across multiple genres.
Unique Construction for Dark Tones
These cymbals are crafted to achieve their distinctive sound through focused techniques:
- They are meticulously rolled and hammered thin, ensuring quick response and a complex wash.
- Midnight Lamp cymbals are lathed only on the bottom. This unlathed top surface contributes significantly to their dryness and emphasizes the fundamental stick sound.
- Double Midnight Lamp cymbals are fully unlathed (except for the small outer ring around the top edge). This 'hands-off' treatment contributes significantly to their dryness and emphasizes the earthy wash and strong stick presence.
The resulting tone is rich and slightly ghostly, making the Midnight Lamp™ line an intriguing choice for drummers seeking a darker, more controlled voice. This series is available in an extensive range of sizes and styles.
