Noctem 18" Cymbal

The Vesper Noctem 18-inch crash cymbal offers exceptional tonal character, ideal for a wide range of musical settings, from concert halls to studio work. Crafted with a unique B25 alloy, each cymbal in the Noctem Series undergoes a meticulous journey by skilled artisans. The process begins with intense oven firing and precise hand hammering, shaping the metal before an immersion in a saltwater bath to refine its inherent properties. A second firing in the oven prepares the cymbal for its final treatment: a distinct Diem Series-style lathe applied exclusively to the outer edges. This innovative method creates a striking visual and sonic contrast with the raw, un-lathed bell and center.
