B20 cymbals have the highest bronze content on the market, consisting of 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin. Handmade B20 cymbals represent the supreme discipline of cymbal forging, with most professional cymbals made from this alloy. The forging process starts with heating the metal, then shaping it through rolling and hammering. The top of the cymbal is usually machine-stamped, followed by painstaking manual hammering to create a unique pattern and profile for each cymbal.
