Cymbal Craftsman Cymbals: The Gold Standard in Bronze

When it comes to cymbals, Paul Francis has been arguably the most influential innovator of the past few decades. His knowledge of bronze goes deeper than probably anyone else's, and it is matched only by his passion for creating some of the best cymbals anyone could ever hope for. Paul has recently started making cymbals under his own independent label Cymbal Craftsman Cymbals, and Drum Center of Portsmouth is overjoyed to stock these wonderful instruments.

The Cymbal Craftsman Dark Modern Series are made from the highest quality B20 bronze alloy, and include a range of different finishes and sounds.

• Dark Modern Dry: These models feature partially lathed tops for a drier, more pronounced stick sound and controlled wash. Great for jazz and Latin music.
• Dark Modern Dual Finish: These feature a natural lathed finish with a brilliant finish inner bow and bell yielding a balanced mix of warmth and cutting projection and clarity. Ideal for rock, gospel, and louder settings.
• Dark Modern Stellar: These cymbals feature fully lathed bows with a raw bell for a full, robust, slightly dark wash ... and a big, fat bell tone! Well-suited for most styles.

All Cymbal Craftsman cymbals are skillfully lathed and hammered by Paul Francis to be some of the most versatile cymbals you'll find today.
