Zildjian

Dry, dark China sound. Immediate initial trashy attack with fast decay.

This new addition to the Zildjian “A” Family is a sonic recreation of the vintage "A" sound from the 1950's. Each cymbal in this collection delivers immense musicality and features a thin, loose, played-in feel with a great balance of bright and dark overtones. The A Avedis HiHats feature a Medium Thin bottom cymbal that is a little bit heavier than the Thin top in order to deliver that prominent chick sound.

We added a variety of intricate details to make this collection truly something special including its timeless, individual "aged" patina to the classy and understated "Avedis" logo, to the original hollow "Zildjian" logo underneath.

Good ride definition. Dry crash qualities.
K Zildjian cymbals continue to inspire drummers today with their deep, warm, and expressive sounds developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey.
