Re: Suggestions wanted for new ride!
I have a UFiP 21" Class Series ride. I'm pretty sure it could be put next to a Meinl any day of the week, possibly above a Meinl.
There was an auction for one not too long ago for a ridiculously low price, under $200!
Material/Method: Rotocasting, Handmade, Deep Hammered with Double Punch, Hand Polished
Application: Rock, Hard Rock, Pop, Fusion, Funk, Acoustic, Jazz, Latin, World Music.
Sound: Versatile sound range, powerful but controlled, glassy and brilliant with a wide dynamic range.
Description: "Rotocasting" is what makes UFIP cymbals different from all the rest. While every other cymbal present on the market is the result of a process of rolling and subsequent pressing, UFIP professional lines cymbals are obtained through a procedure of centrifuge-casting. This process ensures in the first place the removal of all the impurities present in the alloy bronze, granting at the same time a greater thickness of the bell compared to those cymbals obtained by simple pressing. This allows for the best propagation of sound waves along the cymbal surface, ensuring an unmatched sound output. Fine examples of superior craftmanship in both structure and sound, UFIP Rotocast cymbals are made using only the finest B20 Bell Bronze. No other alloy offers such purity of sound or wide dynamic range. A UFIP cymbal is a truly unique instrument, uncomparable in today's modern market. From casting to tempering, hammering to finishing, every process is completed by hand, with machinery only ever used to support the skills of dedicated craftsmen, resulting in an instrument that is as individual as you.
