Founded in 1999, the biggest and best cymbal brand in Brazil and Latin America, Orion Cymbals, has just arrived in the US market and the cymbals are being officially distributed by Swamp Loco LLC, serving musicians of the most varied styles, from beginners to professionals and great artists.
The brand will have as its main artist the band Claustrofobia together with drummer Caio D’Angelo representing the brand and performing Shows, Workshows and Drum Clinics.

I’ve always liked big, sturdy cymbals, so on my set, the Rage10 series is indispensable, it has good dynamics and the further down I go, the more explosive it sounds! The REV10 series is used for the smoothest and most detailed parts! And the X10 finished perfectly with the Crash 19”, the China 21′ and the Mega Ride 22” with its mega dome!!!” – Caio D’Angelo (Claustrofobia)
“The series that I like the most and matches our sound is the X10, I feel comfortable with the timbre both in the more dynamic parts and in the explosive parts, in addition to the Ride Mega Bell 22′ which is perfect for aggressive and heavy sounds. I intersperse the X10 series with Crash Rev10 to differentiate the tones and close my kit with the China 18` Rage10 explosive” – Marcus D’Angelo (T.W.R – Third World Rise)
“My setup is a mix of B10 and B20 cymbals, utilizing 5 different series that Orion has to offer. My main crashes are Solo 20 and Celebrity Vinte which give me an aggressive explosion on impact but have a beautiful soft and musical decay with a less aggressive overtone on the end. My hi-hat and ride are from the x10 series which create the metal aggressiveness I’m looking for, next the rage 10 china it makes it easy for me to play and not worry about my cymbals cutting through the mix or reaching the people in the back of a venue. Last but not least I use the solo pro 10 splash dead center on my rack for an aggressive contrast to my crashes” – Mauricio Silva (Mynas)
“From Metal to Jazz and everything in between, Orion Cymbals has something for everyone. Amazing sound… Amazing quality… Amazing price! Orion Cymbals help me to glide above the waves of an endless sea of similarity. My MS Series set gives me the balanced, nicely integrated, responsive, and unique voice I’m looking for when I play Jazz, Fusion, and Pop. My Metal set is a combination of X10, Rage10, and Rev10 Series cymbals that when brought together create a sonic barrage that has to be heard to believe! Orion Cymbals… The voice of originality !!!” – Ruston Grosse (Master, Amesa Spentas)
“I currently play the following series – X10, RAGE10, & Rev10. X10 – I just love how they’re viciously loud. The sustain and the brightness are just perfect. RAGE10 – The attack is perfect and brutal and that’s how it should be. Rev10 – 16″ crash is the only one I have from this series but if you’re looking for a fast sound but still want it loud and sustain – this is your cymbal. Overall, the whole setup sounds killer!” – Mike Fury (M.O.D, Indisgust, Will To Live ,True Intentions, Die Young)
