The Stagg Genghis series is one of the most compelling arguments for B20 bronze cymbals at an accessible price point. B20 - 80% copper, 20% tin - is the alloy used by every major professional cymbal brand, and the Genghis delivers its characteristic dark, complex, musical tone at a fraction of the cost of comparable cymbals from Zildjian, Sabian, or Meinl. For players who want professional-quality bronze without the professional price tag, the Genghis is the natural starting point.

The three sub-series each offer a distinct tonal character. The Genghis Medium is the most versatile all-round option - warm, dark, and musical across the full dynamic range, suited to rock, pop, jazz, and general playing. If you're building a first B20 cymbal setup or replacing individual cymbals, the Medium is the safest and most practical choice.

The Genghis Dual's two-finish construction is worth understanding. The brilliant-finish centre produces a brighter, more cutting tone when struck on the bow; the natural outer edge produces a darker, drier sound when struck near the edge. This gives you more expressive range from a single cymbal - particularly useful on ride cymbals, where bow and edge sounds are both regularly used. The Dual hi-hats also benefit from this construction, producing a more complex, layered chick and open sound than a standard single-finish hi-hat.

The Genghis Exo is the most aggressive of the three - the exotic hammered finish produces a more cutting, projecting tone that suits heavier playing styles and louder live settings where the cymbal needs to cut through a dense mix.
