About Red Cymbals

The Craft

Handmade from B20+ Bronze

Our cymbals are made from B20+ bronze — an alloy of approximately 80% copper and 20% tin, widely regarded as the premium standard in cymbal manufacturing. The higher tin content produces richer harmonics, greater tonal complexity, and a more responsive feel compared to lower-grade alloys. Each cymbal is individually hammered, lathed, and finished by hand.

Our range covers the full spectrum of sound — from dark, dry, and trashy to bright and cutting — across crashes, rides, hi-hats, chinas, and effects cymbals. We also offer B8, Low Volume, and Stainless Steel cymbals, as well as custom orders for drummers with specific tonal requirements.

The Community

People First

Red Cymbals has a vision of putting people first — building a community of drummers who come together and have each other’s backs in good times and challenging ones. Support is offered for drummers and creative people going through a tough time, to help them find what they need to stay healthy and keep on drumming.

We support people-centric mental health initiatives — including Support Act and The Missed Foundation — through monthly donations from the sale of Red Cymbals, and by running events to promote positive wellbeing.

Regular jams and drum sheds create a space where people can share ideas and connect. We also operate our own drum school at our warehouse in Australia to promote drumming and music education.
