Ufip?


Hey forum. I've seen a few posts here about Ufip, the cymbal company, but nothing major. Just a few mentions. Does anyone here use and Ufip cymbals? If so, how do you like them. I'm looking to replace my Sabian B8 hat's, which are crap, and I came by some Ufip class series 13" hats, that look pretty good, for about $180. Would you think this is a fair price?

UFIP are fantastic, quality cymbals. I so wish to add a few to my personal collection. A freind had some UFIP's and those were really nice well made quality cymbals. The looked great but most importantly they sounded fantastic. Going from a B8 sheet stamped cymbal to a Roto cast B20 cymbal is quite an upgrade. Good for you. FWIW, UFIP is the only cymbal company in the world that uses the "Roto Casting system". Go for it.

UFIP is an Italian cymbal company. They are well made, great sounding, great looking cymbals, but they can be expensive. If all you want is a great sound I know you can find something comparable for less. I wouldn't say don't buy them but do some good hard research before you invest, and if you test a cymbal at the store at least bring your other cymbals with you so you can hear how it sounds with the rest of the crew. Almost all music stores will let you do that, just make sure to tell them you brought your own before they get confused.
