PGB Artisan Cymbals by Independent Cymbalsmith, Philippe Gauthier Boudreau, Montreal, Canada.

This series is inspired the cymbal sound on the solo album Spring by Tony Williams. Medium weight and heavily hammered, this cymbal has a dark character with a precise attack. The bell is a traditional low profile Turkish bell that has been hand hammered.

The Oyster series is a cymbal concept that is characterised by an uneven shape and profile. One half of the cymbal has a pronounced curve offering a good stick definition for riding, the other half is almost flat, making it washy and low pitched.

Rivets

This hi-hat concept combines a inverted china as a top cymbal and a conventional cymbal as a bottom. Four small bronze disc, cut from the same bronze blanks used to make our cymbals, are added to the top cymbal with rivets. Making the open sound cutting and complex. This combination makes for rich sounding hi-hats with a lot of personality.
