UFIP Cymbals

About UFIP Cymbals

UFIP cymbals are renowned for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship, a tradition that dates back to 1931. What truly distinguishes UFIP from other cymbal makers is their innovative Rotocasting process. Unlike conventional methods that involve rolling and force pressing, UFIP uses a unique centrifuge-casting technique to create their professional B20 cymbals. This method ensures the removal of impurities from the bronze alloy, resulting in a purer, more resonant sound. Additionally, Rotocasting produces a thicker bell, enhancing the cymbal’s tonal depth and projection.

Every UFIP cymbal is a unique work of art, meticulously crafted by hand. From the casting and tempering stages to the hammering and finishing touches, each step is performed by skilled Cymbal Smiths, with machinery only used to assist the delicate process. This hands-on approach ensures that every cymbal they produce has its own distinct character, providing drummers with instruments that are as individual as their playing style.

UFIP cymbals are made from the finest B20 bell bronze, an alloy composed of 80% copper and 20% tin. This high-quality material delivers a rich tonal character and a dynamic range that cannot be matched by other alloys. When you choose a UFIP cymbal, you’re not just selecting a brand; you’re choosing a sound that stands apart in clarity and musicality. For your next cymbal, let your ears guide you to the unparalleled sound of UFIP.
