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. The Zildjian Sound Lab recently made adjustments to the curvature and weights of its current models to capture the sweet spot of the classic A sound, producing crashes, rides, and hats that reflect today’s musical styles.
