Purple Heart 23" Crash Ride Cymbal – Limited 250th Anniversary Edition

The Kmicic Purple Heart 23" Crash Ride is an exclusive handcrafted titanium steel cymbal created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. Limited to only 3 pieces worldwide, this extraordinary instrument combines refined musicality, collector-level craftsmanship and stunning visual artistry.

The cymbal delivers a dark and sophisticated voice with dry, highly articulate stick definition and exceptional control. Its balanced character allows it to adapt naturally across a wide range of musical styles while remaining expressive and inspiring.

One of its most distinctive features is the loud, precise and beautifully musical bell. Powerful enough to cut through the mix yet smooth and pleasing to the ear, the bell avoids harshness while preserving clarity and definition.

The defining visual centerpiece of the Purple Heart is its dark gold bell, which reflects shades of purple and violet under light, creating a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of glowing metallic fire. Combined with the cymbal’s handcrafted finish, the result is an instrument that feels luxurious, rare and unforgettable on stage.

Each cymbal features:

• a gold Kmicic logo
• a special resin logo under the bell
• an exclusive engraving dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the USA
• an individual certificate of authenticity

The Purple Heart is more than a cymbal — it is a collector’s instrument and a tribute to individuality, craftsmanship and musical expression.
