“Magnificent instruments created by a master whose intellectual depth regarding the philosophy of the drum and music is matched only by his profound craftsmanship. Each cymbal is a new journey.”

“The hands-on approach and generosity of the Leon staff made each choice feel personal.”
Arlo Finne
“I love the mellow, dark and washy, yet defined sound of these cymbals. When you play, you start to find out how many different types of sounds you can get out them.”
Played in the real world

Leon cymbals are developed to respond naturally across different musical settings, dynamics and performance environments.
