We wanted to make a line of FX Cymbals and Bells with different tonal values than traditional cymbals while keeping the signature “CP look” as we have with all our metal products.
 
*If you would like more than 1 Bell, it's best to order them at the same time.
We do our best to blend pitch and colors when we make sets so the sound and look great together.
We cannot guarantee similar pitch or coloring to previous Bells when ordered at separate times. 
 
CP FX Cymbals 
Bell: Thinner, hand-hammered
Body: Even thickness from bell to edge
Profile: Slight bow, more flat
Material: Steel
-The stretched metal of the bell, due to hand-hammering, makes our bells not quite as loud as a traditional cymbal bell but still loud enough to cut through the mix.
-Our cymbals are not lathed or pressed with a hydraulic machine, they are hand-cut, hand-hammered and hand-shaped.
-Individually heat-treated to bring out the unique colors and tones of the metal.
 
Traditional Cymbals 
Bell: Thick
Body: Gets gradually thinner as you get to the outer edge 
Profile: Bowed/Arched
Material: Brass or Bronze
 
While having a more definite pitch than a traditional cymbal, our splash cymbals are not tuned to a specific note. This allows for more overtones to come through adding to the unique sound that only Creative Percussion can bring you.  
 
Our splashes provide sonic opportunities, with a sound between a traditional splash and a chime, to combine with other cymbals or to stand alone as their own sole color.  
 
In addition to these great sounds, the coloring process will also add another dimension to your set up with an eye-catching design. 
 
Stand out from the ordinary with CP FX Cymbals!  No two are exactly alike!
