Re: Stagg DH Series
Hey Chazbo,
Many people are unfamiliar with Stagg because their distribution network is somewhat limited, and particularly in the U.S. they are not sold in a lot of stores.
The company has only been in existence since 1995 and is headquartered in Belgium. However, they are actually a full line musical instrument company, producing everything "from brass and woodwind, guitars and bass, drums and pro audio, not to mention all the necessary accessories" (from their web site).
Their cymbals are made in China.
From a Harmony Central review: All Stagg cymbals are made from B20 cast bronze (80% copper/20% tin). They're initially stamped, then machine- and hand-hammered into shape. Then they're hand-lathed for weight dispersion and basic sonic characteristics. Senior craftsman do the hammering and lathing in the latter part of the manufacturing process to confirm the sound, timbre characteristic, and thickness of each particular plate.
They have received numerous very favorable reviews as a less expensive option to the "big name" cymbals.
