Pure Alloy cymbals sonically bridge the gap between the darker Byzance and brighter Classics Custom lines. Their shimmering, smooth sounds cut with agility and have a full range of tonality with medium sustain making them perfect for all dynamic levels. The crashes and rides have a perfect mix of effortless strength and a balanced wash, while the hihats carry a clean, refined definition.

Made in Germany from Pure Alloy bronze and hammered into shape. The traditional models feature pinpoint lathing creating the traditional finish.

The 15” Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hihats: feature a medium-thin top and medium bottom with additional hammering throughout. Sounding pre-EQ’d, they have a dry attack in the upper-mid frequencies giving them a clear and focused voice. Additionally, there is a hint of sizzle and crunch in the low end creating rich warmth for a naturally compressed response. Open the top cymbal for thick barks, and close them for a dry foot chick. Fully opened, they present a robust wash that has plenty of volume and push.
