Mirage

Mirage cymbals are a modern cymbal brand known for producing both beginner-friendly and professional-grade models with distinctive tonal qualities, including raw and semi-polished finishes for a versatile sound.

Brand and Series

• Avantgarde Mirage Series: This professional line features hand-hammered 18” crash cymbals with a raw bell and outer edge while keeping the rest of the surface polished, creating a modern sound with a balance of dry and brilliant stick response.

These are designed for drummers seeking a combination of vintage craft and contemporary tone.

• Eclypse Series: Mirage's first release as a new cymbal company, built from B20 bronze, offering crash cymbals known for clarity and responsiveness, suitable for both live performance and studio settings.

Sound and Construction

Mirage cymbals are notable for combining raw and polished surfaces, which allows for a versatile tonal palette. The raw bell and edges emphasize sharp attack and articulate stick definition, while polished areas provide brightness and sustain. Professional Avantgarde models are hand-hammered and inspired by 40-50s Turkish craftsmanship, adapted to modern drummer expectations for volume and dynamics.
