Collection: 延命寺 Emjmod

Cymbals that inspire players.

A fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and the sensitivity of musicians.
It all began with one drummer who happened to acquire the knowledge of cymbal making.

Drummer Emmeiji a.k.a emj, a true cymbal enthusiast who has purchased more than a thousand cymbals,
has spent years independently studying modification and repair techniques.
Out of his deep passion for cymbals—and the encounters with people who shared that passion—the handmade cymbal brand emjmod was born.

emjmod

emjmod = emj (Emmeiji) + mod (modify / modulate).

From selecting raw materials to hammering and lathing,
every process is carefully carried out by emj himself.
Each piece combines an original, nature-inspired design with a tone that truly works in real musical settings.
emjmod cymbals are now available in music stores across Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Taiwan,
and are loved by leading drummers and percussionists.

Stimulating the creativity of players around the world—both sonically and visually—
emjmod continues to expand the possibilities of musical expression.
That is our aspiration.
