The extraordinarily popular Alpha cymbals offer excellent quality and functionality.

Paiste is introducing Color Sound 900 cymbals in black, red, blue and purple. We already have Paiste's standard 900 models in stock, but we understand that some people appreciate a bit of extra colour in their lives! Now, your drum set can look as colourful as it sounds. The Color Sound 900 series includes (heavy) crashes, (heavy) rides, heavy/Sound Edge hi-hats, splashes and chinas.
Sabian is adding no fewer than 25 new cymbals to its range of products for the coming year. There are new additions to the AA, AAX, XSR, B8X and HHX series, as well as a number of interesting new Artisan Light and Artisan Elite cymbals.

Paiste introduces the latest addition to their collection of signature cymbals: the Paiste Vir2oisty Signature Duo Ride. It's a 20" ride cymbal with a unique look that combines a raw, dry stick sound in the unlathed centre, with a rich, bright-sounding lathed outer rim. If you're a drummer that likes a focused and complex sound, be sure to check out this ride.
