    These new Z’s..particularly the crashes…are much thinner in weight than previous generations. I can tell they sound much better because of it and this should make them more durable also.

      @2112percussion_  5 місяців тому +14

      Our Zildjian rep likened the new Zs more to darker, more aggressive A Customs than Zs of times past, which I think is an apt description!

      They sound darker than the old gen’s and they seem lighter so I’m hoping they are more durable than the original production cymbals from the 90’s-2000’s

    I had this setup of Zildjian Z customs back in 2001: 17 Medium crash, 2x 17 Rock Crash, 13 Hihats all 1st Gen which I believe is their best Generation, I couldnt stand the 2nd or Z3 Gen, but this new line seems very very close or possibly near the same as the first Generation I had with Star prints rather than Paw looking prints. ( I like this new Z custom release.) I just hope the expand it with weight options as like before such as, Medium/Heavy/Light/Rock etc.. I guess its just the release so far we got all that to hopefully look forward to :) THANK YOU ZILDJIAN FOR BRINGING THEM BACK!!! Who agrees with me here? :D

    • @jackspencer907
      @jackspencer907 5 місяців тому

      They tended to have impressive cutting power. The new ones will probably sound a bit different due to the reduced weights, but still plenty bright. Would be curious to try them.

  • @haydenwilliamson6747

    I’m excited about this. I was a little kid when Z customs were a thing but I could never afford brand new cymbals and probably wouldn’t have bought them anyway. I was kinda scared of them because they were so weird and loud. I own one now that I found in a pawn shop. It’s an 18” rock crash and it sounds like an 18” hi hat bottom. It’s not good but I had to have it. I always thought they were cool cymbals in a weird way. I think I’ll get some of these new ones.

    Hmm, honestly not liking the crashes that much. Sounds like they’re empty, but not hollow, they’re missing something I can’t really describe. Same with the mega bell. Hats and the regular ride sound really good though

  • @carlosclerigadrums

    Lighter? What's the point then? They have not been able to reincarnate the old Dyno Beat hats.

    • @octavius428ball
      @octavius428ball 5 місяців тому

      Exactly. If it's not heavy and thick like a bell then it's not a Zildjian Z series cymbal. It's something completely different. Probably very nice cymbals but I'll stick with the real deal. 13" dyno's are like nothing else and the 22" heavy ride is matched by no other cymbal imho.

    • @2112percussion_
      @2112percussion_  5 місяців тому +1

      Zildjian do still make Dyno Beats, but they got lumped into the A series when they discontinued the Z3 series. Still have the hexagonal hammering and everything.
