Hammerax has released the Feather brand cymbal line plus Nu Bells. Feather is a precise, fast and dark series. They are among the lightest, fastest 18" cymbals Hammerax has ever produced. Nu Bells are a line of 4-sided bells that are loud and aggressive and come in a variety of sizes including 5", 6", 7" and 8"."These cymbals represent a leap forward in cymbal metallurgy - the weight and tone are surprising. Smooth, dark, and fast was the goal, and everyone who has heard them is very surprised and pleased with the result."
The Feather brand line of cymbals include an 18" China in one weight - micro thin (747 grams) plus 18" Crashes in two weights - Paper thin (910 grams) and Micro thin (747 grams). This places them at a little over half of the weight of an average 18" crash.
The 18" Paper Thin is slightly brighter and the 18" Micro thin China and Crash are slightly faster and darker. The crashes have a smooth sound, while the china sends out an aggressive blast.
Feather brand cymbals have a dark sound but are capable of substantial volume, considering the lightness of their weight. They open up very easily to a dark rising swell.
Nu Bells
Nu brand Bells have a patented micro cups design that can be raked for special effect and when hit they have super tone with great sustain. They can be dark and loud when needed. Mount multiple Nu bells opposing each other or you can mount a 3 bell tree with cymbal felts in between. They are very versatile and can be mounted upside down or in any position. John Stannard:
"Nu brand bells deviate from traditional shape and are four-sided. The four-sided feature creates multiple fundamentals that add a wild edgy sound but still fits many styles. 4 sides also allow for easier access to the main cymbal cup, below, when Nu bells are mounted upside down."
