Get inspired: Dream ReFX Crop Circle 14″

We are launching a new series of videos under our Get inspired banner. Those will be very short clips showing practical applications of new, not-so-obvious or slightly overlooked effects, hardware or accessories from various manufacturers.

We want to stress the fact that the clips will focus on presenting the application of a given instrument or piece of hardware in a quick and to-the-point way, i.e. stripped of the usual production (sevral cameras, studio post-production etc.). The objective is to show BeatIt viewers the idea behind the product at hand.

We take the first crack at the 14-inch ReFX Crop Circle effect ring from Dream Cymbals. Developed in co-operation with drummer extraordinaire Scott Pellegrom, the effect allows a drummer to create an electronic drum effect on an acoustic snare. You can also drop it on your tom, ride or crash cymbal to create extra colour. Who are we to suggest you guys anything anyway?  Get inspired! Invent applications for this interesting product yourselves!

It is noteworthy that the ReFX Crop Circle is made from recycled broken cymbals. The ring is equipped with 4 pairs of replaceable jingles and is also available in the 10-inch diameter.
