Second Line & EFX Cymbals: Gongs, Chinas, Splashes, and More
Cymbal & Gong's commitment is to create inspiring, musical, and innovative sounds and instruments. The factory operates not just as a production space, but as an open and fearless artists' workshop where craftsmanship and creativity truly flourish.
Where Tradition Meets Experimentation
The creation of Second Line and EFX cymbals is a blend of time-honored techniques and modern ideas, allowing the manufacturer to push the boundaries of what cymbals can be. The philosophy involves drawing on traditional craftsmanship while embracing bold experimentation.
- Each piece is made with passion, ensuring every strike delivers an unforgettable sound.
- These unique instruments are designed to inspire musicians and elevate performances by offering new sonic textures.
China or Swish?
All Cymbal & Gong china and swish cymbals are made with a low and flat bow profile and outer flange for a low-pitched, complex, breathy sound. The difference between the two models is the bell: The China models feature a flat-top, truncated cone shape for a more complex tone. Swish models are made with a more-standard round bell for a 'cleaner' wash and more pronounced stick sound.
The Second Line and EFX line—which includes Gongs, Chinas, Splashes, and Percussive cymbals—comes in an extensive range of sizes and styles to suit any artistic vision.
