Stagg Cymbals - Professional Bronze, Every Playing Style

Stagg produce one of the most comprehensive cymbal ranges available at their price point - B20 bronze alloy cymbals across multiple series, covering everything from professional-grade hi-hats and rides to silent practice cymbals, splash accents, and gongs. Whether you're building a first cymbal setup or adding individual pieces to an existing kit, the Stagg range has the right cymbal for the job.

Genghis Series - B20 Bronze, Professional Standard

The Genghis is Stagg's flagship cymbal series - B20 bronze alloy, hand-hammered, and available in a wide range of types and sizes. The range spans three sub-series:

  • Genghis Medium - the core Genghis range; versatile, musical, and well-suited to a wide range of styles. Available in hi-hats (14", 15"), crashes (16", 17", 18"), and the 22" China Ride
  • Genghis Dual - a two-finish cymbal with a brilliant centre and natural outer edge, producing a more complex, layered tone. Available in hi-hats, crashes (16" to 19"), rides (20", 21"), and splash (8", 10")
  • Genghis Exo - an exotic finish with a more aggressive, cutting tone. Available in crashes (16" to 19") and rides (20", 21")

Sensa Series - Brilliant Finish, Musical Character

The Sensa series offers a brilliant finish with a warm, musical tone suited to studio and live performance. Available in crashes (18", 20" Ocean), the 21" Sweet Ride, and the Sensa Stack (16" Sizzle China + 10" Splash).

Single Hammered (SH) Series

The SH series uses a single-hammered finish for a raw, unlathed character with a dry, focused tone. Available in splash (6" to 12"), thin crash (14", 17"), and China (14", 16").

SX Silent Practice Cymbals

The Stagg SXM Silent Cymbal Set and individual SX practice cymbals allow you to practise at near-silent volume on your acoustic kit - replacing standard cymbals with mesh or perforated alternatives that dramatically reduce noise. Available as a full set or individual hi-hat, crash, and ride pieces.

Stagg Cymbals - Buyer's Guide

Stagg produce a broader range of cymbals than most players realise - from entry-level alloy sets through to B20 bronze professional cymbals that compete with brands at significantly higher price points. The key to navigating the range is understanding which series suits your playing style and budget.

The Genghis series is the heart of the Stagg cymbal range and the strongest option for most players. B20 bronze alloy - the same material used by the major professional cymbal brands - hand-hammered and available in three distinct sub-series. The standard Genghis Medium is the most versatile all-round option, producing a warm, musical tone that suits rock, pop, and general playing. The Genghis Dual's two-finish construction adds tonal complexity - the brilliant centre and natural outer edge produce different sounds depending on where you strike, giving you more expressive range from a single cymbal. The Genghis Exo has a more aggressive, cutting character suited to heavier playing styles.

The Sensa series is worth considering for players who want a warmer, more musical tone with a brilliant finish - the Sweet Ride in particular is a well-regarded cymbal that punches above its price point. The Single Hammered series is for players who want a drier, more raw character - the unlathed finish produces a focused, cutting tone that suits jazz and more experimental playing contexts.

The SX Silent practice cymbals are a practical solution for acoustic drummers who need to reduce noise at home. They replace your standard cymbals on your existing stands and dramatically reduce the volume of cymbal strikes without requiring a full electronic kit conversion.
