What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Quality, unique character in each cymbal





The 14-inch hi-hats give you a dark attack when closed, and open up to a shimmering, sizzling undertow. Their striking surface treatment responds with a foot chick that every drummer will appreciate. The 16 and 18-inch crashes are quick and explosive in attack, throwing in a splash of brightness with very short sustain for a smooth feel that sits anywhere in the mix with ease. Finally, the 20-inch ride cymbal offers a well-defined stick attack with just a bit of shimmer. The darker, complex wash blends perfectly with the cymbal's clear and flexible feel, making it a very well-rounded ride overall.
