Zildjian K Custom Hybrid HiHat 13.25" - sanjuro's review
These Hi hats are from Akira Jimbo's hybrid line. I actually think that they are 1/4 inch bigger than 13's (not that its that big of a deal). When I first saw the hybrid lines, it seemed like a goo…
Zildjian K Custom Hybrid China 19" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian K Constantinople Hi Bell Dry Light Ride 22" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian K Custom Ride 18" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian K/Z Special HiHat Pair 13" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian K Dark Crash Thin 15'' - sanjuro's review
The 15'' K dark thin crash is an exceptional cymbal in certain situations, but not in most. K's are often played in Jazz, and we had one of these in my high school jazz band. It served well, but to…
Zildjian ZBT 3 Box Set - sanjuro's review
Zildjian zbt's are ok as a starter cymbal pack. These sound a lot better than the stock cymbals that came with my first drum kit, but not by much. These are cheap, and have pretty great value. Thi…
Zildjian K Mastersound HiHat Pair 14" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A Sweet Ride 21" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A Custom Ping Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A New Beat HiHat 14" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A New Beat HiHat 14" - Audiofanzine FR's review

Zildjian A Custom Rezo Crash 18" - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by titvigier/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I previously owned a 18" projection crash but it was too loud and powerful and annoying. This one doesn't sound too brilli…
Zildjian Avedis China High 18' - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by kokidrum/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've been using it for about 2 years. Very good china cymbal because of its size and it's higher pitch than china lows. What I like…

Zildjian A Medium Thin Crash 16'' - FateFelledVictim's review
I have been using this cymbal for about 2 months, and it has a good tone. The shimmering sound and the vintage clarity is all there, but I think it might be a touch too high pitch. The sound is great…
Zildjian A Custom Crash 16'' - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by pyj56/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've owned it for 9 years. Wonderful crash cymbal. I find it sounds better with aging. Very fast response at every volume. Same quality …
