In 1970, Stagg started as a guitar company in Japan. In 1995, Leonardo Baldocci, the founder and chairman of the Belgian music distribution group EMD Music relaunched and expanded the brand. Their mission is to offer quality instruments at an affordable price. In addition to cymbals, they offer other percussion, plus guitars, basses, abd other accessories. They are headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
Noteworthy Achievements:
1. The company currently produces the industry's largest Clap Stack at 16", 18", and 20".
2. Their pioneering Multi Bell cymbal spans a remarkable range from 20" to 28".
3. They created Luna, a groundbreaking cymbal designed exclusively for snare drums.
4. They created the "Clap" Hats, the first reversible pair designed to complement the Clap Stack.
5. They proudly unveiled Jupiter, the industry's first cymbal featuring a 10" bell, a feature also incorporated across various other models.
6. Their Neptune Crash/Ride sets a benchmark as the market's thinnest cymbal.
7. They’ve revamped the Triangle, making it larger and stronger, and becoming the first to offer a B20 model.
8. Their line of chime cymbals are a departure from traditional cup chimes, featuring a bell with no surrounding perimeter. This redesign results in a purer, more resonant chime-like sound. Available in various weights, sizes, and finishes.
