18in Wuhan Sus Cymbal Cresc
A 18-inch suspended cymbal starting on note C3, composed of 2 types of crescendos:
crescendo sustain, where the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its
volume grows to a peak and is allowed to ring out (sustain); and crescendo stopped, where
the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its volume grows to a peak
and is then dampened (stopped) to prevent it from ringing out. Its profile is deeper than
a standard suspended cymbal, and it has a broad-spectrum frequency span with little
additional coloration. Each contains 4 different lengths mapped to the white keys from
shortest to longest (C3–F3=crescendo sustain; G3–B3=crescendo stopped), and is played
in a round robin (x2) cycle. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness,
and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (2 levels).
18in Zildjian Sus Cymbal Cresc
An 18-inch suspended cymbal starting on note C3, composed of 2 types of crescendos:
crescendo sustain, where the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its
volume grows to a peak and is allowed to ring out (sustain); and crescendo stopped, where
the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its volume grows to a peak
and is then dampened (stopped) to prevent it from ringing out. Its profile is close to a
standard suspended cymbal, with an upper frequency span that has very little coloration.
Each contains 4 different lengths mapped to the white keys from shortest to longest (C3–
F3=crescendo sustain; G3–B3=crescendo stopped), and is played in a round robin (x2)
cycle. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity
also controls dynamics (2 levels).
20in Zildjian w Cutouts Sus Cymbal Cresc
A 20-inch suspended cymbal starting on note C3, composed of 2 types of crescendos:
crescendo sustain, where the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its
volume grows to a peak and is allowed to ring out (sustain); and crescendo stopped, where
the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its volume grows to a peak
and is then dampened (stopped) to prevent it from ringing out. It has a splashy timbre
with added mid range presence, and is set in a reverb that enables it to easily blend into
orchestral arrangements. Each contains 4 different lengths mapped to the white keys from
shortest to longest (C3–F3=crescendo sustain; G3–B3=crescendo stopped), and is played
in a round robin (x2) cycle. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness,
and Note Velocity also controls dynamics (2 levels).
22in Dream Sus Cymbal Cresc
A 22-inch suspended cymbal starting on note C3, composed of 2 types of crescendos:
crescendo sustain, where the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that
its volume grows to a peak and is allowed to ring out (sustain); and crescendo stopped,
where the cymbal is played with increasing speed and force so that its volume grows to
a peak and is then dampened (stopped) to prevent it from ringing out. It has a clearer,
inharmonic quality than most suspended cymbals that brings its timbre closer to that of
a gong. Each contains 4 different lengths mapped to white keys from shortest to longest
(C3–F3=crescendo sustain; G3–B3=crescendo stopped), and is played in a round robin
(x2) cycle. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Veloc-
ity also controls dynamics (2 levels).
Large Sizzle Sus Cymbal Cresc
A large suspended cymbal fitted with rivets that creates a very long sustain (sizzle) start-
ing on note C3, composed of 2 types of crescendos: crescendo sustain, where the cymbal
