Usually, a special hardware or a hi-hat stand is needed to mount a closed hi-hat, however the Hammerax SkyHat cymbals have inverted cups which allow the pair of cymbals to be mounted on any stand or cymbal arm. The tightness of sound can be adjusted instantly simply by turning the standard wing nut. SkyHat cymbals can be used separately. The bottom cymbal is very heavy, with a loud bell quality. The top is an aggressive crash in the larger sizes and a tight bell in the smallest size. To create a double bell, just place one or more cymbal felts between the top and bottom. The gap created allows the control of 2 separate cymbals when the wingnut is tight. Loosen the wingnut and the 2 cymbals can crash together when hit. The double bell mode of SkyHat also features a resonant air cavity between the cymbals which amplifies lows.

Hammerax Fly Hat Cymbals are dark and versatile, from the small 9" pair to the deep and dark 16". The 12" and 16" cymbals have thin tops for airy complex tone with a medium soft chick. The Fly Hat cymbal's multicup technology mellows the tone and adds versatility. Hammerax Fly Hat bottom cymbals are very heavy, do not have a cup, and are equipped with air escape holes for efficient playing.

The Hammerax Whipcrash heavy crash cymbal is crafted with an S-shaped array of hammered microcups that snake across the full body of the cymbal, including two on the bell which can be stick-raked hard or softly to create one-hand crescendos and decrescendos. These microcups are formed directly into the cymbal bronze through hammering. The 10 microcups also add complexity to the sound.Whipcrash crash cymbals are very loud. They are heavier than other Hammerax crashes, and with the special alloy they are manufactured from, they are tough and designed for hard hitting. The main bell has a complex and fairly loud tone. The crash tone is very complex in the mids with rather subdued highs. Whipcrash is a perfect cymbal for loud situations where a dark sound is desired. The Hammerax Whipcrash sounds absolutely beautiful when combined with bright cymbals. By raking the microcups gradually toward or away the tip of the stick, a strange phase-shift effect can be achieved.

The Stanton Moore Series Pang Thang has flanged edges for piercing crashes with plenty of low end wash. With a higher pitch that a trash crash, the Pang Thang has a sweet and light tone with a pronounced body swish.Bosphorus worked for two years with Stanton on the development of his signature series cymbals. The results capture the funky, earthy quality of Stanton's trademark sound. The tops are traditionally lathed with warm tonal grooves, while the bottoms are lathed with the distinctive wider ridges associated with the Bosphorus New Orleans series. The sound is 100% Stanton—raw, and aggressive, but always musical and extremely funky. Together these cymbals give Stanton the kind of balanced attack he requires as he takes traditional second line drumming into tomorrow.
