What happens when a professional drummer plays them for the first time? We wanted to find out.
So we put a selection of V-Classic Cymbals in front of professional drummer Stockton Helbing and let him play them for the first time. Try them out for yourself at Cymbal Swap and take 20% off rentals or purchases with promo code: VCLASSIC20!

We’re seriously excited for this one. 🔔⚡️

King Gizzard’s Michael “CAVS” Cavanagh is hosting a gong bath at Field of Vision in Colorado, exploring two of the biggest gongs we make: a 60" Chau and a 51" Feng.

With our Mbao Gongs and crotales rounding out the setup, get ready to get lost in the roars, washes, deep tones, rumbles, and wonderfully weird sounds CAVS creates in this completely unique performance.

Catch it live at 1 PM MDT on the King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard YouTube channel.

We can’t wait to hear where he takes it. 🌊🔔
