Heartbeat

Heartbeat Cymbals are handcrafted cymbals designed for contemporary worship and various musical styles, offering a range of sounds from dark and buttery to light and crisp, all made using high-quality B20 metals.

Craftsmanship and Materials

Heartbeat Cymbals are handcrafted in Istanbul, Turkey, combining traditional cymbal-making techniques with modern touches. They use B20 bronze, known as the combination of 80% copper and 20% tin, which historically produces premium cymbal tones. The cymbals are lathed, hammered, and shaped to create distinct sonic palettes, emphasizing musicality, clarity, and controlled overtones.

Series and Types

• Heartbeat offers fifteen series of cymbals, catering to different stylistic needs and volume levels, particularly for worship settings. Popular series include:

Epic Cymbals: Mellow, warm, and natural sounds with smaller bells, ideal for ambient and contemporary worship.

• Studio Cymbals: Half-lathed, half-unlathed for a balanced, dynamic sound suitable for recording.

• Classic Series: Traditional hand-hammered cymbals reminiscent of Turkish craftsmanship, delivering dark, thin, and musical crashes.

• Custom Dry Cymbals: Designed for smaller acoustic settings, offering controlled, short decay sounds

Sound and Applications

Heartbeat Cymbals are described as having lower volume, cleaner sound, and quick decay—qualities that prevent overpowering the rest of a band. They are particularly suited for:

Contemporary worship with audiences from small congregations to large gatherings.

Jazz, rock, folk, fusion, studio recording, and world music genres.

Players seeking boutique or hand-crafted cymbal tones that differ from mass-produced brands.
