The cymbal array includes a 12-inch hi-hat with an included hi-hat pedal, two 12-inch crash cymbals with choke, and a 14-inch ride cymbal with choke, providing realistic articulation and expressive control. All components are mounted on a premium quick-lock chrome rack with double-braced snare stand, ensuring maximum stability, easy setup, and personalized positioning for optimal playability.
