Here's a short sample of my new Samsun Cymbals.

20" Medium Crash
- It's similar to an A custom crash. The unlathed bell tapers some of the very high keeping the body of the sound very full and rich. The lathing gets finer and finer up to the edge where it's almost completely smooth, giving it a smooth sound and decay. It also makes the cymbal come to life at low volumes. It's phenomental

18" Medium thin Raw Crash
- This is probably my favorite crash. The entirely hand hammered, unlathed crash has such a beautiful earthy, dark tone. The decay is shorter but the textural sound of the cymbal stands out in a crowd

16" Medium "Zebra" Crash
- This crash is really interesting. The outer edge is unlathed, giving it a darker sound on the stick, with a little heavier attack. But with so much of the surface being lathed (the bottom is lathed) it keeps a lot of shimmer and decay. What you get is a super punch 16" that has a great even decay.

8" Splash
- The splash is a lot like a K custom Hybrid Splash, great tone that jumps out, not papery sounding or cheap. Has a lot of body for such a small cymbal

These cymbals are phenomenal, you have to hear them next to some top of the line Zildjian cymbals to appreciate the quality. The most noticeable aspect to me is how the cymbals come to life at such low volumes.
