The Surge 13 inch Crash Cymbal With Choke is the world's first crash cymbal with built-in electronic triggering. Edge or shoulder crashes, riding on the face of the Surge Crash, or any other technique feels the way you'd expect a cymbal to feel.

Surge Cymbals are the world's most realistic-looking, accurately responding, and most importantly, natural-feeling cymbal triggers in the world. Not pads in any way, Surge Cymbals are true brass cymbals at their core with exclusive clear sound dampening to cut the cymbals' acoustic sound.

Surge Cymbals employ industry-standard piezo triggers, so they are easy to use with any existing electronic drumset, replacing those uninspiring hard black cymbal pads. Because they are cymbals, they mount on any cymbal stand so they are easy to integrate into both electronic and acoustic drum setups using any sound module, or trigger-to-MIDI converter. A large choke… read more strip on the underside of the Crash and Ride cymbals sends a message to the sound module to choke the cymbal sound when activated - just like choking any other cymbal!

Surge Cymbals are the only cymbals that integrate built-in electronic triggers with a custom brass alloy. They are the only choice for drummers who are serious about feel.

Also available: Surge 12 in. Hi-Hat, Surge 13 in. Crash without choke capability and Surge 16 in. dual-zone Rides with and without choke capability.
