Vulcan Cymbals is a brand of ARMAS srl, based in Tremestieri Etneo, on the slopes of Mount Etna.
The soul of Vulcan
Vulcan cymbals are alive, full of power, music and fire, like a volcano in motion.
They are born on the slopes of Sicily’s Mount Etna, where our ideas and visions take shape. From there, each project travels to Istanbul, the historic heart of cymbal making. Here, our master artisans, with over 30 years of experience, hammer and lathe every cymbal entirely by hand, transforming raw metal into instruments filled with soul, character and their own identity.
No two Vulcan cymbals are the same: each one is a unique original, carrying its own voice. Our series trace the very history of cymbals, from the golden age of 1950s jazz, when Turkish-made cymbals defined a sound, to today’s drummers searching for their personal sonic identity.
Vulcan means individuality. Vulcan means the one and only. Welcome to Vulcan.
— Massimiliano Arrigoni, founder
A family of sounds
