In 2011, Zildjian amazed the drum market with their Gen16 AE (acoustic-electronic) cymbals. Then winning Best in NAMM, this year the cymbal company has more to celebrate. With the 20th anniversary of the A Custom cymbal line, the 21" Anniversary Ride celebrates this landmark.
At the Winter NAMM 2012 Show, Zildjian also introduced new models in the K Constantinoples series, the 19" K Custom Hybrid Trash Smash that was designed in conjunction with Akira Jimbo, plus the 20" K Custom Dark Complex Ride. Also new for 2012 are Zildjian's 13" A Pocket hi-hats, which are now available as a stand-alone product. They were originally introduced as part of the Inspiration Pack for Gospel and Praise and Worship.
In the videos Jeroen Bakx, drum specialist for Hoshino Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, introduces and demonstrates all the new Zildjian cymbals. Additionally, Jeroen shows the new Gen16 products and Russ Miller - his latest album 'Arrival Live' is the February release of the month on drummerszone.com - plays the Gen16's in a stunning demonstration.
