SABIAN Finger Cymbals Heavy
Description
SABIAN Finger Cymbals Heavy
The SABIAN Heavy Finger Cymbals sit comfortably in the palm with responsive grip straps, delivering sustained, resonant tones that cut through ensemble playing. Cast from solid bronze and handcrafted for consistency, these cymbals produce ringing, bell-like sounds with extended decay that gives you presence on stage and in the studio. Built for percussionists and world music performers who demand projection and reliability from finger cymbal work.
Tone & Sustain Character
The 2.25-inch diameter paired with solid bronze construction generates extra sustain and volume compared to thinner models—the cymbals do not decay as fast, allowing notes to ring and bloom throughout your phrases. This sustained resonance keeps your finger cymbal lines audible and articulate during legato passages and in ensemble settings where cutting through matters.
Build & Accessories
Handmade cast bronze construction ensures durability and tonal consistency across each pair, so you know what you're getting night after night. The package includes durable bungee straps for secure hand positioning, a protective velvet pouch for storage and transport between gigs, and an instructional manual covering proper technique.
