B20 cymbals are known for having the highest bronze content used in cymbal making. The term “B20” refers to an alloy composed of 80% copper and 20% tin—a time-tested blend that delivers rich, complex, and musical tones. Regarded as the pinnacle of cymbal craftsmanship, B20 cymbals are the preferred choice for most professional drummers. The production process begins with heating a solid metal blank, which is then rolled, hammered, and shaped into its final form. The bow (top surface) is often machine-pressed to ensure consistency. But the real artistry lies in the next step: hand-hammering. Each cymbal is carefully hammered by skilled artisans, creating a unique tonal fingerprint and individual visual character. No two B20 cymbals are exactly alike—each one is a one-of-a-kind instrument.
