With the rise of dryer cymbal sounds finding their way into the setups and recordings of progressive metal and hard rock drummers, Stagg's Black Metal series give drummers a new voice. Made of hand hammered B20 bronze alloy, they feature a raw unfinished "black" section and redefine Stagg's traditional look and sound. The result is a dry yet articulate response with an emphasis on low-end harmonics, which delivers darkness in tone that matches its looks. This dark tone is perfect for all types of metal, hard rock and rock, but is versatile for a wide range of genres and styles.
