Explore Cymbal Packs at Sweetwater


Cymbal packs are a convenient option, especially if you're a beginning drummer who's just starting to gear up. All the key pieces are there, and you can select the set that best suits your playing style, genre, and kit size. The features you'll want in your cymbal pack depend on your specific needs and playing style, and Sweetwater carries packs to suit nearly every musical niche. Here are some of the most important factors to consider when choosing a cymbal pack.


Starter Cymbal Packs Vs. Advanced Cymbal Packs


Starter cymbal packs usually include a basic set of cymbals to get you up and running with your new drum kit: typically a pair of hi-hats and a combination crash-ride cymbal. More advanced cymbal sets feature separate ride and crash cymbals; many even offer more than one crash cymbal. Looking for more sounds? We also carry packs that come with china cymbals, splash cymbals, and other effects cymbals.


Light and Heavy Cymbals Compared


Rock packs often contain thicker cymbals than those in other packs, so if that's the sound you're going for, take a look at those. Lighter-weight cymbals for jazz or other lighter music will contain cymbals matched up to provide a cohesive voice that appropriately enhances your drumming sound.


How thick should your cymbals be? That depends on your skill level, preferred music genre, and playing circumstances. If you're more into soft music or do a lot of recording, you won't need super-high output, so you can choose thinner cymbals. These often work well for lower pitches and create sound with lighter touches. If you're more of a heavy hitter or you need added focus for rock and metal music, thick cymbals are the ideal choice for you. They sing out with higher pitches at greater volumes to cut through the mix and make themselves heard.


Specialty Cymbal Packs for Stage, Studio, and Beyond


Some of our cymbal assortments are even more specifically grouped. For instance, if you're looking for a low-volume pack, Sweetwater carries several options that contain cymbals especially suited to practice rooms and low-volume performance situations. There are also signature packs designed in collaboration with particular artists to produce a specific vibe.


There are even acoustic-electric packs for those wanting to implement triggers and vastly expand the musical possibilities. These packs include the cymbals, drum module, triggers, mounting hardware, and the necessary patch cables and power supply to get connected and keep rocking.
