Zildjian Introduces New Extra Thin Splash Cymbals July 10, 1998Legendary Cymbal Manufacturer the Avedis Zildjian Company has announced the introduction of three new Splash Cymbals to their A Zildjian range of cymbals, the most popular cymbals in the world. These 8", 10" and 12" Extra Thin Splashes offer truly quick and musical sound accents in the three most popular Splash sizes.
Splash cymbals are often the first cymbals drummers turn to in order to add new sound colors to a traditional Crash, Ride and HiHats setup. World famous players like Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band, Manu Katche of Peter Gabriel's band and Vinnie Colaiuta of Sting's band are known for their signature use of these cymbals in their drumming.
These new thinner models have been made possible through Zildjian's constant investment in new manufacturing technology, most importantly in a new, more exact, rolling mill operation.
"Retailers and our top artists alike have typically favored thinner Splash cymbals for their cleaner, faster, livelier sound," said Zildjian Product Specialist John King. "These new Extra Thin Splashes are exceptional cymbals. They combine the traditionally bright, full-bodied and colorful sound characteristic of the A. Zildjian range with a faster decay than ever before." See the Zildjian website at http://www.zildjian.com. |
