Zildjian S Family china 16 pulgadas

General

In Zildjian's extensive S family series there are two China cymbals. This one has a diameter of 16 inches, which makes it the smaller of the two. It has a bright sound and an explosive character that works well for adding short accents. Some china cymbals only sound good if you play them as hard as possible. That's not the case with this one that sounds just as good when it's played more gently too. It produces a short sustain and has as bright, trashy sound that's ideal for a range of music genres. In short, it's the perfect addition for all-round drummers.

Zildjian S Family

Zildjian S Family cymbals are made of B12 alloy, which consists of 88% copper and 12% tin. In order to achieve a new and modern sound from an age-old material, developers in the Zildjian sound lab experimented with different techniques over the course of two whole years! During that time, they created and tested various designs in the lab as well as in the field, so to speak. The S Family series adds a unique, bright sound to the Zildjian assortment.

Sound characteristics of the S Family series

For starters, the cymbals have a brilliant finish. They have an overwhelmingly clear and expressive sound, and an average volume level range. If we compare the cymbals from the K Custom series, which are all made of B20 alloy, then it would be safe to say the S Family cymbals boast more clarity and focus. This has to do with the ratio of copper to tin, as well as the production techniques. At the end of the day, Zildjian's S Family cymbals offer a well-balanced frequency response, making them suitable for just about any style of music you can think of!
