How to listen

What to Listen For

Listen for response

Notice how quickly the cymbal opens and how it reacts at lower dynamics.

Listen for stick and wash

Compare attack definition, body and the balance between stick sound and spread.

Listen for decay

Pay attention to sustain, complexity and how the cymbal settles after the initial hit.

Handmade variation

Every Cymbal Has Its Own Voice

Leon cymbals are handmade instruments. Recordings represent the intended character of each model, but natural variations in weight, pitch, appearance and response are part of every individual cymbal.
