Since 1931, the Italian cymbal manufacturer has been manufacturing cymbals using the world's only Rotocasting® process. While other cymbals are manufactured by rolling and pressing, UFIP casts its professional B20 cymbals in centrifuges. This ensures the removal of all impurities present in the bronze alloy and also guarantees a greater thickness of the bell compared to cymbals made by simple rolling and pressing. UFIP cymbals are unique - from casting to hardening, from hammering to finishing, every process is carried out by hand, with machines only used to assist the experienced and dedicated cymbalsmiths. UFIP is not a mass manufacturer; each cymbal is cast in-house from the finest, purest, and most sonorous bell bronze B20 (20% tin, 80% copper). No other alloy can offer such tonal character and dynamic range. Trust your ears! Play The Difference!

Designed in Denmark, SlapKlatz makes, in our opinion, the most versatile drum mutes on the market. And judging by the reviews, we might be right! These small gel pads are very easy to use and allow the drummer to remove and control unwanted sounds and harmonics from their drum kit without compromising the tone or feel. They can be easily removed or adjusted by simply placing one of the drum gels on the drumhead—that's it! Fine-tuning the sound is now easier than ever, allowing the desired drum sound to be achieved in seconds.

UFO Low Volume Cymbals are specifically designed for practice use and offer the feel and response of traditional cymbals—from bell to rim. They even share some of the same tonal characteristics, albeit at a significantly reduced volume.
These cymbals are perfect for a small practice kit or for a realistic playing feel when paired with electronic drums (note: triggering is not offered). UFOs are also great for creating cymbal stacks when combined with traditional cymbals.
And yes, they are also incredibly affordable!
