Alesis,
the world’s leading manufacturer of professional audio equipment and
studio electronics, announces that its series of SURGE Cymbals is now
shipping.
Crafted from lathed brass cymbal alloy
and acoustically dampened with a clear vinyl layer, SURGE Cymbals
features integrated piezo triggers in rugged ABS housings. The cymbals
deliver acoustic-cymbal look, feel, and response with the added benefit
of electronic-sound module flexibility: SURGE Cymbals’ sound.
SURGE Cymbals are available in two complete sets and five individual
models, enabling drummers to customize their setup to their taste.
SURGE Cymbal Pack contains a SURGE 12” Hi-Hat Cymbal, a SURGE 13” Crash
Cymbal, a 16” Dual-Zone Ride Cymbal, and connection cables. SURGE
Cymbal Pack with choke contains a SURGE 12” Hi-Hat Cymbal, a SURGE 13”
Crash Cymbal with choke capability; a 16” Dual-Zone Ride Cymbal with
choke capability, and connection cables. Models designated ‘with choke’
feature a large strip on their underside, which, when squeezed by a
drummer, sends a message to the connected sound module to stop the
associated sound that is playing. SURGE 12” Hi-Hat Cymbal, SURGE 13"
Crash Cymbals with and without choke, and SURGE 16” Dual-Zone Ride
Cymbals with and without choke are each available separately, included
necessary connection cables.
SURGE Cymbals are included with Alesis high-end electronic drumsets
including the DM5 Pro Kit with SURGE Cymbals and the USB Pro Drum Kit.
SURGE Cymbals are compatible with most major manufacturers’ drum-sound
modules and nearly any cymbal stand or mounting system for use with
electronic and acoustic drumsets.
“SURGE Cymbals are the perfect way to upgrade or add onto your drum
kit,” noted Adam Cohen, Director of Business Development, Alesis.
“There is simply nothing like SURGE available from any other
electronic-drum manufacturer.”
