Traditional Series - brilliant finish
Vintage Series - natural or chemical patina used to give the cymbal an aged sound.
Sol Series - Sol means “left” in Turkish. These cymbals can function as main rides, but were designed to be a bright and clear compliment to your larger, main cymbal.
III Series - This series is made of cymbals that purposely have a combination of overtones & imperfect shape to create a unique sound that works great for a far right or third cymbal (III), but also have enough character that you can use as a main ride in the correct setting.
Semi-Traditional - Combination of brilliant finish with raw material left on for a drier sound with more weight.
Dynamic Series - Custom ride or crash that has cluster hammering and holes with an area for time keeping that doesn’t wash out. The pressed bells have been hammered for complexity.
Hayden Custom Cymbals are hand hammered and lathed from B20 Turkish & Brazilian blanks. The bells are pressed by the factory, unless noted as Hand-formed bell (HFB).
