UFIP ROUGH SERIES 16" CRASH CYMBAL
About
UFiP:
The UFIP history traces back to
the 15th century. Ancestors of the Tronci and Biasei families were making organ
pipes and candelabra for churches in Tuscany back then. Just recently a cymbal
made of bell bronze was discovered inside one of the oldest churches in
Florence.
Sound is always at the core of all Ufip's efforts. Machines are only utilized as assistance to hand made processes in order to ensure absolute consistency. Remotely different from mass production facilities each step of cymbal making at UFIP is controlled by experienced and dedicated cymbal smiths. A unique approach found rarely in today’s fast moving and technology oriented world.
This is the background for the top of the line UFIP range, the Roto Cast Collection which is considered as the ultimate in sound among professional artists all over the world.

Roto Casting
Ufip's exlusive
roto casting creates more thickness of material at the base of the bell giving
more strength and integrity of sound than any other cymbal. All other cast
cymbals stretch the bell from the heated cymbal ingot once rolled. This creates
weakness in that area of the cymbal resulting in common cracking problems and
poor bell sound. With splash cymbals this is crucial as much more of the
cymbal's surface area is the bell. There is no comparison between Ufip and any
other splash.
UFIP CREATIONS
Since 1931 UFIP have
been making their cymbals and its percussion instruments with the same care.
Every UFIP instrument is created with
passion, worked with precision and tested with great attention. Every UFIP musical instrument is unique and exclusively
hand-made.
UFIP cymbals are designed to accompany musicians throughout their musical journey, growing and improving with them. From the amateur to the most dedicated professional, no musician is left out of the vast range of sounds offered by UFIP's rich catalogue.
UFIP cymbals are played by many of the world's most discerning drummers due to their extra frequency range from lows to highs, a cleaner fundamental tone and their pure character, especially when compared to other production line cymbals.
Those who are in search of an instrument of superior
quality and an instrument that always stands out for its excellent value for
money, will find in UFIP the perfect
instrument to play their music at its best.
This range of cymbals owes its name to the apparently
unfinished look of the cymbal surface. In fact this is due to an elaborate
process of micro-lathing which has the function of creating small grooves on the
cymbal surface. Furthermore, the hammering is carried out with no less than five
different round punches of unusually large dimensions.
The result of this process is easy to hear. Rough Series cymbals are the ideal instrument in
those situations in which a very precise sound full of medium frequencies is
required. Both on stage and in the recording studio, these cymbals guarantee an
astonishing force of penetration.
All of the different series of UFIP crashes all sound
amazing and usually leave all other brand crash cymbals sounding less than
desirable, but the Rough Series has a
combination of warm, clean fundamental tones combined with a hint of trashinesh
& a slightly more subtle stick definition making it a perfect all
rounder.
These cymbals have a bunch of frequencies not
usually found most other cymbals and seem to work easily with any musical
situation.
It is a little known
fact that Stewart Copeland during his time
with the 'Police' although endorsed by another major cymbal company only used
UFIP splashes both live and in the studio whenever possible.
He affectionately named his trusty pair of splashes 'splish
snd splosh'!
