Up top, the Zildjian 14-inch Fast Crash delivers a quick, cutting blow and fast choke that's great for many styles of modern music. Finally, the capable 18-inch Uptown Ride, with its unlathed surfaces and extensive hammering, delivers tight, defined sticking and a dark, throaty wash with tremendous musical potential. Percussionists, session players, and working drummers will all find something to love in the A Zildjian City Pack from.
Quick and cutting, these 12-inch hats are a novel addition to the celebrated New Beat lineage. They're comprised of a lighter top on a more musical bottom, able to deliver a responsive foot pump, a musical wash, and tremendous volume when you need it. The 12-inch size goes great with smaller drum sets, cajon kits, and percussion setups. Symmetrical machine hammering and lathing add brightness and decibels to Zildjian's ages-old B20 bronze recipea
With its high pitch and focused attack, the A Zildjian 14-inch Fast Crash has no trouble connecting with your listeners. Its fun, fast size works great for urban and electronic music, yet its sheer output is well suited for rock and metal. Best of all, it packs light in a case and tucks easily under your arm for convenient transport. The Fast Crash's thin weight brings out the best in the B20 bronzea
This Uptown Ride could be the perfect mix of convenience and musicality. Sticking remains tight and defined on the upper bow and bell, with a dark, throaty wash emerging as you move toward the edge and a devilish crash on tap when you need projection. From swing to rock, studio to stage, the 18-inch A Uptown Ride is always a good time. Deep, extensive hammering covers the entire unlathed surface of this B20 bronze ride, resulting in the sort of expressiveness and complexity that serious drummers demand.
The Zildjian City Pack is the perfect combination of sound and practicality. This 4-cymbal set was designed to deliver the legendary Zildjian sound for smaller sized drum kits and percussion set-ups. From apartments to the street musician or anyone gigging with compact set-ups, these smaller sized cymbals are a great alternative, providing a tightly defined, attenuated sound with blended overtones.
