The most advanced cymbals on the planet.
SURGE Cymbals are cymbals with built-in electronic triggers. Made from genuine cymbal-brass alloy, SURGE Cymbals have centuries of cymbal craftsmanship in their DNA, cross-bred with Alesis' decades of experience in electronic triggering technology.
SURGE Cymbals are true brass cymbals with an exclusive, clear dampening layer to cut the cymbals' acoustic sound. Forget rubber pads; these cymbals are the real deal. They mount on any cymbal stand so they are easy to integrate into both electronic and acoustic drum setups using any sound module or trigger-to-MIDI converter.
SURGE Cymbals are the only cymbals that integrate built-in electronic triggers with a custom brass alloy. They are the only choice for drummers who are serious about feel.
