Zildjian

A consistent favorite for its medium sized dimensions and teardrop bead.

Natural, bright, not too high, not too low. Speaks very quickly. Beautiful warm undertones.
The choice of renowned rock, metal and fusion drummers, A Customs feature a brilliant finish and radical new hammering techniques that deliver a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound, but with a contemporary feel. A Customs are not too dark and not too bright with a fast response and clean attack.

Fast, bright, lively. Very responsive.

A new type of effects cymbal with a distinctive colored tint and an equally trashy voice. Explosive on its own. Stack it on another cymbal for a signature trashy sound.
Mike Mangini assisted Zildjian in the birth of this trashy special effects cymbal that stands alone or sizzles piggybacked on another cymbal. Like Mike, it's like nothing you've ever seen before. Its sound is as outrageous as his personality. Well...almost.
Add exotic colors and character to your sound by experimenting with a variety of innovative effects and accents.
