Cymbal Craftsman
Product Description
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, and Drum Center of Portsmouth is overjoyed to stock these wonderful instruments. If you want a truly handcrafted cymbal to bring your sound to the next level, you have to check out Cymbal Craftsman cymbals at Drum Center of Portsmouth!
This ride is a prototype that Paul made specifically for DCP. We were looking for the most versatile ride possible, and Paul came up with something truly outstanding! The stick sound is clear and crisp, and the wash is smooth and just slightly complex while still fairly controlled, and the raw bell is solid and musical. We may see more models like this in the future from Paul, but this 'one-off' prototype is a unique first run model that will work for just about any player's needs!
Please note: Weight calibrations differ from scale to scale. Weighing any cymbal on a different scale than ours may yield a different weight than what is marked, possibly as far off as 20 grams. We do not accept returns for conflicting weight readings from different scales.
