Cymbals

Designed with one of Japan's top drummer's Akira Jimbo. Unlathed, buffed center provides defined stick attack and strong bell. Outside lathed edge increases spread and crashability.
Drawing from the spirit of the legendary K Zildjian range, K Custom cymbals are dark, rich and dry and enable today's drummers to utilize complex K sounds in a more modern musical environment. They feature traditional K hammering, plus a variety of additional modern hammering techniques that produce unique sonic capabilities. Recommended for modern jazz, studio, country and medium rock. K Customs are designed with today's diverse music scene in mind.

The 16" Meinl Classics Custom Brilliant Thin Crash is lightweight, allowing it to open fast and express more dark character and warm tonality. The softer feel under the stick makes this cymbal more inviting to play at a low to medium volume. This crash is versatile for many applications from clubs to home studios. 

With its dark tone, the highly-responsive SABIAN 18 HHX Legacy Crash can play loudly, but always remains musical. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and Tone Projection design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX Tone Projection is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

Different sized cut-outs and thin material create an unmistakable trash sound. Soft, buttery feeling yet with a loud, penetrating and sparkling spread in a fairly narrow range.

Featuring the same crisp, rich and colorful sounds associated with the A Custom range, but with a bolder and full-bodied overall sound.
Hammered grooves in the bottom cymbal rapidly vent trapped air for a fast and clear "chick" sound.
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.

The 20” Pure Alloy Custom Extra Thin Hammered Crash features a custom smoked-bronze top and brilliant bottom plus a thin weight and extra-large hammering across the bow. Producing a velvety crash under the stick due to the thinner weight, this cymbal speaks easily from whisper to roar. The additional hammering works in dark tonality and warmth. 

A Blend of Raw Power and Subtle Articulation

With an exceptionally quick and sensitive response from the lightest touch, S Family thin crashes feature a bright, full crash sound with a beautiful shimmery sustain. Smaller size thin crashes are light and quick, and also work well as stacker cymbals.

Zildjian's classic sound is embodied by A Zildjian and immortalized in countless recordings by the greatest drummers of all time. Known for their versatility, these bright cymbals range from paper thin and delicate to extra heavy and cutting. Recent adjustments were made to the curvature and weights of many current models to capture the sweet spot of the classic A sound, producing crashes, rides, and hats that reflect today's musical styles.
