Head-turning effects to make all hell break loose

Liquicy 'vibrato' cymbals signify an innovative step in cymbal making. Hammerax's patent-pending technology creates a constantly phase-shifting vibrato in which tones are always moving and sweeping. A wild yet smooth effect. Crash the Liquicy's edge or ride the sweet spot with light sticks.

Hammerax Liquicy cymbals were unveiled in 2007 after research into developing a cymbal of increased flex which yielded a deep vibrato style wobble. Early Liquicy cymbals were crashes geared toward max depth of wobble with a slow deep wave. Research continued and after years of work, Hammerax utilized a greater variety of shapes, hammer patterns and heat treating to expand the possibilities of Liquicy. These later tests were handmade at great expense and a few surprising features emerged- Some had a bell-like cup ping.

gollark: Common misconception. GTech™ actually occupies the space 3 seconds ahead of now, so it's not considered the future for everyone else.
gollark: Here we go, it syncs up perfectly somehow. On this simple test case.
gollark: I'm sure *you'd* like to think so.
gollark: Must I *already* initiate Sequence Omega?
gollark: Jabu, this is actually metaphorically your fault?!
