Studio Cymbals from Heartbeat Percussion. Striking looks and amazing sound. The raw bell and raw stripe converts the Heartbeat Classic cymbal into the Studio series. Overtones are reduced and the tone is mellowed making this series popular for recording and for live usage. Less lathing, more raw (unlathed) areas means less resonance and wash, providing a quicker decay than the Classic series. Looking for a slightly darker sound? Look no further than the Studio!
