Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection

Like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, the cymbals in this A Zildjian Box Set are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. These A Zildjian Box Set cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.

A sweet Ride you can really smash

First off Andy is the Man. Huge thank you for the Emails and quick replies.
I truly appreciate it, Sweetwater is my go to for ordering online after this order.

Now the A pack.. this is a great Value.
The High hats haze that classic sizzle and chick(i hate that word.. but it truly describes the hats)
The ride is aptly named and lives up to it. The 16" Thin is nice and you get an additional 16" thin Crash.. both are very nice and not too bright like my 18" A Custom. The 2 18" are great together. It is a little pricy but definitely worth it. This pack saved me cash and they sound really clean.
Music background: Drummer who moonlights as a Bass Player.

You have to try these!

I've been playing big, washy cymbals for about 10 years and decided recently that I might want something brighter. I also need to say that I'm the kind of guy that can play every cymbal within a 50 square mile radius and not like any of them. I never thought I'd be the kind of guy who'd buy a whole pack of cymbals without playing any of them first.

I played As back in the early 2000s and just didn't like them. They were too thick and clunky for my taste, but when I heard recently that Zildjian redesigned them, I had to check them out. Yes I know it was back in 2013, but like I said, I just wasn't interested then.

Folks, these cymbals are incredible. They're bright, crisp, and at least compared to what I was playing before, a little on the dry side. To me, they sound very much like the As you see in all those old Buddy Rich videos from the 70s and 80s. Not sure if that's what they were going for, but I couldn't be happier. I even love the sizes. I'll never part with these!

Best Bang for Your Buck

I have owned this cymbal pack for over 3 years and its the best bang for your buck. These are professional sounding and quality cymbals. The new beat hi hats are nice, the sweet ride can be used as a ride and crashed nicely and the 16 and 18 inch medium thin crashes are beautiful. If you are on a budget these are the ones to get.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
