A sound that always has style. Legend. Legacy. The innovative work of Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams or any of a vast collection of history's greatest drummers. They were all powered by K. Zildjian cymbals. The deep, dry, shimmering sounds developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th century Turkey continue to inspire drummers today. Elaborate hammering and turning transforms our secret alloy into versatile cymbals with a diverse blend of high and low frequencies that can be smooth or intense. It all depends on how you play them.
