The Surge 12 inch Hi-Hat Cymbal is the world's first hi-hat cymbal with built-in electronic triggering. Whether you play with the tip or shoulder of the stick, on the edge or face of the Surge Hi-Hat, it 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.

By employing industry-standard piezo triggers, Surge Cymbals 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.

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