Zildjian S Cymbals: Bright, Versatile Sound for Modern Drummers

Zildjian S Series Cymbals are crafted for drummers who want professional-quality sound with the durability and range to match a variety of musical styles. Positioned between entry-level and pro-level options, the S Series delivers a bright, full-bodied tone that works well in rock, pop, worship, and more—making them a solid choice for both advancing players and gigging musicians.

Balanced, Bright Tone
Made from a B12 bronze alloy (88% copper, 12% tin), S cymbals offer a balanced mix of brightness and warmth. The result is a cymbal line that cuts clearly through the mix without sounding harsh. Whether you’re laying down tight grooves or heavy crashes, the S Series responds with crisp, articulate tone and smooth decay.

Refined Design and Finish
Zildjian’s S cymbals feature fully lathed surfaces and a brilliant finish, giving them a sleek look and a polished, musical sound. The lathing adds complexity to the tone, while the brilliant finish enhances projection and sparkle—both sonically and visually.

Wide Variety of Models
The S Series includes all the essentials and then some:

• Hi-Hats – Tight, defined “chick” with clean foot control and stick articulation.

• Crashes – Bright and explosive with quick decay.

• Rides – Clear ping with a shimmering wash and cutting bell.

• Effect Cymbals – Splashes, Chinas, and O-Zone-style cymbals for creative accents.

One of the biggest strengths of the Zildjian S Series is its versatility. These cymbals transition well between genres and settings, from rehearsal rooms and recording studios to small venue stages. Their durable build also makes them ideal for touring musicians who need reliable gear that can take a beating without breaking the bank.
