Hammerax has released a line of USA made cymbals with rich highs and a balanced wash. They are available in various sizes including splashes in 9", 12", crashes in 16", 18", 21" and 24". Ultraviolet Hi-hats are available in 15" and 13" sizes as well.
"Since the Ultraviolet brand is the first bright sounding cymbal brand from Hammerax, the goal was to create an ultra premium sound, reminiscent of the finest European cymbals - bright and loud when needed, yet colorful and rich. We had to set the bar very high and the reaction at trade shows and live has been superb."
According to Hammerax, the 21" and 24" crash rides are so complex they sound as if they have sizzles. The 18" crash is astoundingly colorful and bright. The 24", 21" and 18" have a great 'ping' in the cup and the 16" crash is very fast, yet bright. 12" and 9" Ultraviolet splashes are said to be crisp, complex, and brilliant. The Ultraviolet hi-hats are described as powerful, rich and bright.
All Ultraviolet cymbals are designed for a wide range of volumes - from a whispering sizzling ride sound to a cutting crash. Hammerax often suggests that drummers try mixing bright and dark sounds in the same kit. The total color and volume can really increase by doing this.
All Ultraviolet cymbals are handmade in the USA and come with a four year Limited Warranty. Available immediately.
