Funch Cymbals: Handcrafted Artistry from Denmark

Where Turkish metalworking traditions meet mid-century jazz heritage.

Crafted in small, meticulous batches just outside Ringsted, Denmark, Funch Cymbals are bespoke musical instruments created by jazz drummer and master cymbalsmith Lasse Funch Sørensen. Blending ancient Turkish hand-hammering techniques with historic Danish metalworking traditions, each Funch cymbal is a unique work of art—forged for drummers who treat sound as their personal voice.

Key Highlights

100% Hand-Hamming & Hand-Lathing: Every cymbal begins with premium B20 "bell bronze" blanks imported directly from Turkey. From initial shaping to final lathing, every step is executed by hand to give each piece its own tonal fingerprint, distinct patina, and organic response.
Vintage Jazz DNA: Heavily inspired by the iconic "Old K" cymbals heard on classic 1950s and ’60s jazz recordings, Funch cymbals deliver a complex balance—a warm, dark, shimmering wash paired with crisp, defined stick articulation.
Unrivaled Dynamic Sensitivity: Designed with acoustic settings, studio sessions, and jazz stages in mind, these cymbals react instantly to the lightest touch while holding their character under heavy play.
