After a long process of research and experimentation in close cooperation with our Artist Federico Paulovich, the new Est.1931 Series is here. As a tribute to the year of our company's founding. Est.1931 cymbals are dry, smooth and warm with a traditional sound, but updated to perfectly fit new modern music styles. Crashes are dark, warm, smoky, soft, very low pitched, with a soft response and short sustain. Rides are extremely dry, musical, very controllable with an excellent stick definition, but still crashable. Hi Hats feature a warm chick, dry sound, good response and great control.
