Zildjian S Family 20-inch Thin Crash

General

A crash cymbal is often used for playing accents, but usually it's not a 20-inch crash. This thin crash from Zildjian's S Family is absolutely perfect for that though. It's 20-inch diameter produces a fuller, lower sound than smaller models. This cymbal is made of a bronze B12 alloy that gives it a bright and balanced sound. Because it's thin, it has short sustain and reverb and it responds quickly and sensitively to the softest touch. What's more, this cymbal is versatile enough for any style of music.

Zildjian S Family

Zildjian S Family cymbals are made of B12 alloy, which consists of 88% copper and 12% tin. In order to achieve a new and modern sound from an age-old material, developers in the Zildjian sound lab experimented with different techniques over the course of two whole years! During that time, they created and tested various designs in the lab as well as in the field, so to speak. The S Family series adds a unique, bright sound to the Zildjian assortment.

Sound characteristics of the S Family series

For starters, the cymbals have a brilliant finish. They have an overwhelmingly clear and expressive sound, and an average volume level range. If we compare the cymbals from the K Custom series, which are all made of B20 alloy, then it would be safe to say the S Family cymbals boast more clarity and focus. This has to do with the ratio of copper to tin, as well as the production techniques. At the end of the day, Zildjian's S Family cymbals offer a well-balanced frequency response, making them suitable for just about any style of music you can think of!
