Royal Cymbals Cymbal Craftsman Bill Stewart V1 Style Ride Cymbal 20" 1952 grams

Royal 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 Royal Cymbals, and Drum Center of Portsmouth is overjoyed to stock these wonderful instruments.

The Cymbal Craftsman series are the best examples of the extent of Paul's expertise. Made from the finest Turkish B20 alloy, these cymbals are skillfully lathed and hammered into warm, lush, complex, but surprisingly versatile cymbals that are sure to impress even the most discerning players.

The Bill Stewart rides are available in two versions: Version 1 rides feature a larger bell than the Version 2, making the Version 1 a bit louder and the Version 2 a bit more "polite."

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.
