When building your signature drum sound, choosing the right cymbals is key. That’s why we created the Kmicic Classic Series – a line of universal cymbals designed to adapt to a wide range of musical styles and performance settings. Available in two distinct finishes – Brilliance and Satin – these handmade cymbals offer two unique tonal personalities based on the same core design. What sets them apart?
Brilliance – Bright and Glassy Cymbal Sound
The Brilliance finish immediately catches the eye with its mirror-like shine, but the real difference lies in the sound – these are bright cymbals with a glassy, cutting tone. They respond quickly, with a crisp attack and clean projection, making them ideal for pop, fusion, funk, or modern jazz.
Key Features of Brilliance:
- High-polish, reflective finish
- Bright, clear and articulate cymbal sound
- Excellent projection and fast response
These bright-sounding cymbals are perfect for drummers who need their cymbals to cut through the mix while maintaining musical sensitivity.
Satin – Warm and Controlled Cymbal Tone
If you prefer a warmer, more controlled cymbal sound, the Satin version is your go-to. With its smooth, matte finish, the Satin cymbals produce a softer attack and a more mellow, blended tone. They’re a great fit for acoustic music, soul, blues, classic rock, or traditional jazz – anywhere that tone, control and warmth matter most.
Key Features of Satin:
- Matte, non-reflective satin finish
- Warm, rounded tone with a balanced character
- Softer attack and natural sustain
These warm cymbals are designed to blend seamlessly into any ensemble, offering expressive control and tonal richness.
Two Personalities, One Foundation
Both the Brilliance and Satin versions share the same core design: a classic cymbal profile with balanced weight and versatile shaping. Each cymbal is handmade using traditional techniques, ensuring musicality, durability and consistency for both studio and live use.
Brilliance or Satin? The Choice Is Yours.
Whether you’re looking for bright cymbals that shine and cut, or warm cymbals with a smooth, expressive tone, the Kmicic Classic Series cymbals give you the freedom to shape your unique sound.
Or why not mix both finishes in your setup for even greater tonal variety?
