Introducing The GMD Series

---

At GM Designs, we believe every drummer—whether a beginner or a seasoned pro—should have access to exceptional, handcrafted cymbals without compromise. Too often, affordability comes at the cost of tone, durability, or musicality, but we refuse to settle for less.

The GMD Series embodies this vision, delivering premium B20 alloy cymbals crafted with the same precision and artistry that define GM Designs. By refining our production process and focusing on what truly shapes a cymbal’s sound and feel, we’ve made high-quality cymbals more accessible. The result? A series that offers professional sound, feel, and versatility at an unbeatable value.

The GMD Series is built for versatility and musicality, offering a balanced mix of articulation, warmth, and dynamic response. With a raw top and lathed bottom, these cymbals provide a semi-dry, articulate sticking response while still opening up naturally. A single-line lathe on the top edge enhances crash response without sacrificing definition.

Bright bells, full-bodied crashes, and balanced ride tones make these cymbals adaptable to any style. The Hi-Hat bottom has two vent holes to eliminate airlock, ensuring a crisp, controlled foot response. Whether you're a student, emerging artist, or seasoned player, the GMD Series delivers professional sound and versatility at an unbeatable price.

Most entry-level cymbal packs come in basic sizes that lack depth, power, and versatility. The GMD Series redefines affordability by focusing on professional sound, real-world playability, and maximum usability. Featuring larger, more musical sizes—including 14” or 15” Hi-Hats, 18” or 19” Crashes, and 21” or 23” Rides—these cymbals deliver richer tone, greater projection, and a dynamic range suited for studio, stage, or daily practice. Now expanded with 10” and 12” Splashes and 17” and 18” Spirals, the series offers even more creative options. Available individually at a discount or in money-saving prepaks, drummers can choose from a 14” Hi-Hats, 18” Crash, and 21” Ride setup or the larger 15” Hi-Hats, 19” Crash, and 23” Ride pack. For those seeking unique textures, discounted Effects Packs pair a 10” Splash with a 17” Spiral or a 12” Splash with an 18” Spiral. These handcrafted B20 bronze cymbals deliver pro-level sound and versatility at an unbeatable price. Upgrade your setup today at gmdcymbals.com!

Designed for drummers who want quality without compromise, the series goes beyond standard entry-level gear with musical, expressive options—like the Lumina Crash.

Offered in 19" and 20" sizes, the Lumina Crash is a thin, semi-trashy effects cymbal that balances light, fast articulation with explosive character. Its semi-lathed top provides dry, punchy accents, while the fully lathed underside enhances wash and sustain. A mix of large and small holes adds texture and grit, with two rivet-ready holes for optional B20 jingles. For more value, bundle the 19" with a 10" Splash or the 20" with a 12" Splash—both available now on Reverb.
