Information

The Zildjian FX 7" Break Bell Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums!

The Zildjian FX 7" Break Bell Cymbal is a distinctive effects cymbal created for drummers looking to introduce a compact, resonant and highly responsive voice into their setup. Developed through the Zildjian Concept Shop in collaboration with Jay Weinberg, the Break Bell combines traditional Eastern sonic influences with a modern design suited to creative contemporary playing.

Its small 7" diameter produces a quick and immediate response, while the combination of a conical cup and hammered, flanged edge creates a complex blend of tones and musical overtones. Whether used for sharp accents, rhythmic patterns or layered amongst other effects cymbals, the Break Bell provides a unique sound that can cut clearly through a mix.

Developed with Jay Weinberg

The FX Break Bell was designed in collaboration with drummer Jay Weinberg, bringing together Zildjian's cymbal-making experience with a concept developed for powerful and expressive modern drumming.

While particularly at home within heavier styles of music, its unusual tonal character makes it equally useful for any drummer looking to expand their setup with a distinctive alternative to conventional bells, splashes and effects cymbals.

Conical Cup and Hammered Flanged Edge

The Break Bell uses a distinctive conical cup alongside a hammered, flanged edge to create its complex voice. This unusual profile produces a blend of focused attack and resonant overtones, giving the cymbal considerably more character than its compact dimensions might suggest.

The lightweight construction keeps the response fast and effortless, making it easy to incorporate into fills, accents and more intricate cymbal patterns without requiring excessive force from the player.

Brilliant Finish

A brilliant finish gives the 7" Break Bell a striking appearance while complementing its sharp and defined tonal character. Its compact size also makes it easy to position within an existing cymbal setup, whether mounted independently or incorporated alongside other FX sounds.

As part of Zildjian's Concept Shop collection, the Break Bell offers something deliberately different for drummers who want to explore more unusual sounds and textures around the kit.
