Versatile & Bold – The Zildjian S Family Cymbals

Zildjian, one of the oldest cymbal companies in the world, is of course incredibly well known for making cymbals played by some of the most successful drummers in the world.

It is almost impossible to walk on to a stage or into a studio and not find a Zildjian cymbal. Their ubiquity is absolutely unmatched. Other than the quality and world-class tone, this is largely because of the massive range they offer to drummers of absolutely every level.

The S Family of cymbals is absolutely no different. In fact, Zildjian’s primary aim with the S series is to bring a large variety of sizes and types of cymbals usually only found in cast cymbals to a more affordable range of non-cast alloy cymbals.

Crafted from Zildjian’s B12 alloy, A huge assortment of cymbal sizes, weights and FX options allow you to curate a sound that’s exactly you. Each cymbal features extensive hammering and lathing for the most musical and dynamic non-cast cymbal Zildjian have ever produced.
