Absolute

SVENSKA Klicka här!
The ABSOLUTE series originates with the patented B21ZFe alloy. This cymbal line has a warm overall sound that accentuates the fundamental note or pitch of the cymbal. With a slightly drier, medium-short sustain and an upper mid frequency boost, this cymbal series has the ability to create the sound of a louder cymbal but with reduced db levels.

The ABSOLUTE cymbals are ideal for situations that perhaps require more controlled volume levels. These are not "quiet" cymbals by any means and are capable of plenty of cut, but they do deliver a more mellow vibe that doesn't mask other instruments in the upper frequency range.

The ABSOLUTE cymbals articulate so they sound louder relative to the actual db level of a comparable traditional B20 cymbal under normal playing conditions. The larger crash cymbals are also great small rides for acoustic situations. The slight dryness aids in articulation.
