Cymbal Range
Stagg have been producing cymbals for a number of years but have also been regarded as 'Practice' or 'beginner cymbals'. As of 2009 Stagg brought new expensive rolling machines as their cymbals in the past have been regarded as tin sounding and inconsistent.
As of November 2010 the current line of cymbals are as follows.
SH Series
The Stagg SH Series is regarded as the lowest priced range of cymbals and therefore their starter ones. SH Standing for 'single hammered' these cymbals are put through a hammering process once by highly skilled professionals before being sent out for sale.
DH Series
The Stagg DH Series is now regarded as their upper market of the two low end line of Stagg's cymbals. DH standing for Double Hammered; these cymbals go through the same process as the SH series but go through the process twice. This range is also available in Traditional or Brilliant finish and also come in a new 'Exo' range, which are distinguished by an unfinished bell surface.
Furia Series
Stagg's new Furia Series are all hand hammered and also precessed with equipment to give them all roughly the same sound. These cymbals come in Traditional or Brilliant and are also generally used by endorsers of the company. They are said to be 'Dark' sounding and are often compared to rivals Zildjian K custom cymbals.
Myra Series
The Myra series along with the Furia series go through exactly the same process of hand hammering and being pressed by equipment. This series is also used by endorsers as they give off a brighter sound than the Furia range, often gaining comparisons to Zildjian's A Custom Range. These cymbals are only available in Brilliant finish, giving them more cutting power in live situations.
Stagg's cymbal fan base has been growing since the arrival of the new Furia and Myra ranges, and are all praised for the surprising low costs of the cymbals. Made from the same b20 bronze casts that all top cymbals producers use.
