Cymbals for Sale UK - Into Music Store, Horncastle, Lincolnshire

Into Music Store is one of the UK's leading independent cymbal stores - a specialist drum shop in Horncastle, Lincolnshire stocking one of the most comprehensive cymbal ranges available in the UK. We are an authorised dealer for Zildjian, Paiste, Istanbul Agop, Meinl, and Stagg, with experienced staff who can help you find the right cymbals for your playing style, genre, and budget.

Choosing the right cymbals is one of the most personal decisions a drummer makes. The brand, series, size, and weight all affect the tone, response, and character of the cymbal - and the differences between series within the same brand can be just as significant as the differences between brands. Zildjian's A Series is bright, cutting, and versatile - the most widely used professional cymbal series in the world. The K Series is darker, more complex, and hand-hammered for a warm, musical tone popular in jazz and fusion. Paiste's 2002 is the sound of classic rock - powerful, bright, and immediately recognisable. The Formula 602 is a more refined, hand-crafted professional series used across all styles. Istanbul Agop's hand-crafted B20 bronze cymbals are among the most musical and complex available - the Mel Lewis and Sultan series in particular are revered by jazz drummers worldwide. For beginners and budget-conscious players, Stagg and Zildjian Planet Z offer reliable, great-value options from trusted brands.

For rock drumming, Zildjian's Z Custom and A Series, Paiste's 2002 and PST8 Reflector Rock, and Paiste's Giant Beat are all excellent choices. Each has a distinct character - Zildjian A is bright and versatile, Paiste 2002 is powerful and cutting, and the Giant Beat has a warm, vintage rock tone. Our team can help you find the right match for your playing style.
Zildjian A Series cymbals are bright, cutting, and versatile - the most widely used professional cymbal series in the world, popular across rock, pop, and session playing. Zildjian K Series cymbals are darker, more complex, and hand-hammered for a warm, musical tone that is particularly popular in jazz, fusion, and lower-volume playing. The K Sweet sub-series is warm and washy, while the K Custom range is darker and drier.
Low volume cymbals - such as the Zildjian L80 range - reduce cymbal volume by up to 80% compared to standard cymbals while maintaining a realistic playing feel. They are ideal for home practice, apartment drumming, or rehearsal spaces where noise is a concern. They can be used with a standard acoustic kit to significantly reduce the overall volume of the setup.
