Zildjian is one of the oldest and most respected names in drumming, with a history that stretches back over 400 years. Founded as a family-run cymbal-making craft, Zildjian has become the world’s leading cymbal manufacturer, setting the standard for sound, consistency, and musical expression across generations of drummers.
Zildjian cymbals are used in every style of music, from rock, pop, jazz, metal, and punk through to orchestral, marching, and world percussion. Their ranges cover everything from bright, cutting cymbals for live performance to darker, more complex sounds suited to studio and jazz playing. This breadth makes Zildjian a go-to choice for beginners buying their first cymbals as well as touring professionals and recording artists.
Beyond cymbals, Zildjian also produces drumsticks, mallets, and accessories, supporting drummers across their entire setup. The brand’s longevity, innovation, and close relationship with drummers worldwide have made Zildjian not just a manufacturer, but a cornerstone of modern drumming culture.
Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.
Hi-hats use a pair of cymbals operated by a foot pedal for timekeeping, accents and changing degrees of openness. Compare diameter, top and bottom weights, profile, edge response, chick sound, stick definition and how quickly the cymbals open and close. Some listings are a matched pair, while others describe an individual top or bottom cymbal. Check the wording carefully and remember that a hi-hat stand, clutch, felts and accessories may not be included. The right pair should complement the drummer’s touch, volume and musical style.
Hi-Hat identifies a paired cymbal system operated by a pedal. Check whether the listing is a pair or single cymbal, plus diameter, weights, clutch and stand compatibility.
