What are Tom's Becken all about ?
The Generation X Tom's Becken are a pitch-matched range of contemporary crash cymbals that provide acoustic and electronic drummers with modern sounds that resemble artificially engineered cymbal samples. A perfect range for electronic drummers since they are quieter than most crash cymbals. Tom's Becken are "db compressed" and ideal for rehearsal rooms as well as controlled recording environments (close miking recommended). Their feels is flexible and soft.
What's the deal with all those Filter Chinas ?
All Filter Chinas are made from the revolutionary FX9 alloy and feature a waved edge as well as a number of holes purposefully drilled into the cymbal. All of this causes a fast, sharp and almost sinister sound with an aggressive attack, yet maintaining a short sustain. Available in 8", 10", 12", 14", and 16". "Right now I am designing my new set for 2005, and all the different Filter Chinas will play a big role in this set-up and for my future sound." explains Thomas. "I am thinking of approaching them more like tom toms, and not like cymbals. Since they are all pitch matched, this won't cause a major problem. I am looking forward to eperimenting with these new sounds in my newly designed kit.
Why stack cymbals ?
By putting two or more cymbals on top of each other, new and unique sounds can be created. Modern music requires new and hip sounds which can't be realized with conventional cymbals. By stacking cymbals, radical sounds are achieved which reflect the drummers creativity and open mind. Unconventional white noises and trashy effects are sounds demanded by many producers in today's studio world. From a playing standpoint, stacks are used for fast accents and special effect sounds. Due to the fact that they are naturally muffled, they can also be used for keeping time, similar to the function of hihats or ride cymbals.
