About Zildjian City Cymbal Set

It is with great excitement that we introduce the Zildjian A Series 4-Piece City Cymbal Set, a meticulously crafted collection designed for the discerning drummer seeking a professional, high-quality sound in a sleek and compact package. This set is the epitome of Zildjian's legendary craftsmanship, tailored to fit smaller drum kits and percussion setups without compromising on the sonic excellence that the brand is renowned for.

The set features the innovative 18" A Uptown Ride Cymbal, a masterpiece of controlled, dry sound that boasts a pronounced stick definition. Its unique unlathed top and bottom surfaces produce a tightly defined, attenuated sound with minimal overtones and sustain, making it an ideal choice for drummers who require precision and clarity in their ride patterns. The natural finish, mid-pitch, dark sound, short sustain, and medium weight of this cymbal combine to create a ride that is as visually stunning as it is aurally pleasing.

Complementing the ride are the 12" A New Beat Hi-Hat Cymbals, a pair that has gained acclaim for their versatility and has become a staple in drummers' arsenals worldwide. Conceived by the legendary Louie Bellson, these hi-hats deliver a solid beat with a perfect blend of stick and "chick" sound. The symmetrical hammering and traditional wide groove lathing ensure that each strike is met with a bright, expressive tone that is both pure and cutting. The traditional finish, high pitch, bright sound, and combination of heavy and medium weights make these hi-hats a dynamic and indispensable component of the set.

Rounding out the ensemble is the 14" A Fast Crash, a cymbal that responds with a bright, airy crash and an extremely short decay. Slightly thinner than its A Custom counterparts, this Fast Crash cymbal explodes with a vivid splash of color upon impact. Its brilliant finish, mid-pitch, bright to mid sound, short sustain, and paper-thin weight make it an exceptional choice for drummers looking to add a burst of energy to their playing.

This Zildjian A Series City Cymbal Set is a shining example of how smaller cymbals can deliver a big impact. Whether you're a street musician, an apartment dweller, or a gigging artist with a compact setup, this set offers a durable, high-quality selection of cymbals that will elevate your musical expression. With its blend of traditional and contemporary design elements, the City Cymbal Set is a testament to Zildjian's commitment to providing drummers with the tools they need to bring their music to life, no matter the venue or space constraints.
