We wanted to recreate our Oyster cymbal using Kupo's B10 alloy and signature Crumply bell. The result is a dryer, yet very expressive and bright variation of the standard model.
We're excited to release the very first PGB x Kupo collab! For this collection, we came up with an 8 cymbal offering using Doran's signature Crumply bell design. All Crumply bells have been shaped in Singapore, then shipped to Montreal, where we hammered the profile and created the patina. During the hammering stages in Montreal, we stayed in contact with Doran to make sure that the cymbals would react well to our shaping and added tension. Kupo's cymbals typically don't go through any heat treatment after the hammering process, but ours did. This allowed us to hammer the cymbals more intensely and still get plenty of wash. After 4 months of planning and working on this collab, we are very pleased with the results and happy to finally share it with you.
