Kamala

Kamala cymbals are vintage English-made cymbals, often associated with the Zyn brand, known for their thin, trashy, and unique sound, particularly popular among collectors and garage rock drummers.

Origin and Manufacturing

Kamala cymbals were primarily produced in England, sometimes under the Zyn brand, during the 1950s to 1970s.

They include various types such as hi-hats, crash-rides, splash cymbals, and rides. Many of these cymbals were crafted from nickel silver alloys, contributing to their unique bright and washy tone.

They often have a thin, trashy sound, making them distinct from mainstream commercial cymbals.
