I recently decided I want to make my drum kit as metal as possible (Saw blades, spikes, cool black drums heads)
I was planning on getting Harpy C series (Black) Cymbals.
Has anyone ever played them or have any output on the sound or quality...
any comments welcome

thx:)

If you wanna be metallic, you should probably go with Meinl.

I don't know anything about those, but Stagg have a 'Black Metal' range.

But I don't understand. Just about no metal drummers have black cymbals or saw blades on their kits, so why do you need to?

I really wouldnt recommend buying any cymbals just for their looks, after all they are mainly for thier sound. But if you can find some black cymbals that sound good to you then go for it.

Paiste do (or did) custom spraying of cymbals so they can do black ones

^Yup.


Any Paiste cymbal is available in black for a 30% surcharge. Because the cymbal is made in Switzerland, the lead time is 4 to 6 months. You can make custom orders through your local drum shop.

But I stand by my point that the best metal drummers don't have a kit full of gimmicks and cliches, neither should you.

Go the Paiste custom route or dont bother, there's no point in buying cymbals for the way they look. Why not just start with something easy like all black heads.

dude, if you wanna look rad, the only way to do so is NOT to look rad!! use regular cymbals and play well, that's what makes you rad, not spikes and saw blades!

you wanna look black metal???? you wanna have spikes and sawblades... well, these guys got spikes and look pretty black metal... are they your idols???? :D

harpy cymbals sound like A or K customs.... some say Paiste Signatures, but i think they resemble HHX's. just what ive heard.

A drummer around these parts has as old 9 Piece Swingstar from the 90's with an entire collection of Paiste Visions.. its wicked!

If you order cymbals through Paiste, they will do any cymbal in black for 30% added.

Allow 3 months or so =/

harpy cymbals are better used as saucers and salad bowls than cymbals.


they're dishwasher safe, too.

You can get black paiste cymbals, that'd be your best bet.
