The “HellBell” and other percussion effects made by Hammerax have become popular and widely-used by drummers and percussionists as additional sounds and textures used to accent musical arrangements, to “spice up” solos, to simulate the sounds heard on popular recordings that have been synthesized in the studio and also to add new sounds to the drummer’s and percussionist’s toolkit.
Hammerax cymbals now also utilize a new hammer system. Thousands of dents can now be placed into a cymbal. This power, in combination with very careful heat treatment and unique alloys, results in great tonal beauty. Rolling happens while a cymbal is flat but is only the beginning. This hammering method continues on a 3-D scale, adding strength, loudness and richness. Hammerax cups are also forged completely by hammering, making them very strong and loud.
About HAMMERAX
After years building musical instruments and founding Om Percussion, well known for bar chimes and the “Energy Chime”, in 1993 John Stannard began hammering bronze. On the island of Bali he studied forging in the fire pits. The education was more spiritual than intellectual. In 2006, a lifetime of listening, followed by a long and focused research period paid off. A small studio of cymbalsmiths headed by Stannard, unveiled a new line of hand hammered stick-playable hybrid instruments to a rave response. Cymbals, Bells, FX and Gongs soon followed.
Hammerax® has filed dozens of trademarks, patents, and copyrights on their works and brands. Their bronze alloys are all cast, rolled and hand hammered in a proprietary process. "Investment in a Hammerax brand instrument means the acquisition of an individual work of art, signed by the artist. They are consistently beautiful in sound and look, but they vary ever so slightly to give each one its own voice. When you buy one, know that there will never be another exactly like it." says Stannard. "Our mission is to shake up ears with the true innovation." All Hammerax products are 100% made in USA.
