Series: Z3
Weight: ?g
Years of production: 2009 - 2013
Sound file: Z3 16" Medium Crash
Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 16″, 17″, and 18″ exemplify the Z3 difference. The Z3 look is a crazy-good mirror-buffed finish over wide lathing and bulging hammer marks. The Z3 sound is glassy but thick, very robust, insensitive to polite nudging, and ripe with shimmering highs.
The 16″ is short but strong; the 18″ full and with a bright spread. Consistently, the Rock crashes registered a higher pitch and a good bit more brashness. The Medium crashes sounded less specialized, and closer to “normal.”
Crashes are a personal choice, and I stayed true to my own history and dug the 17″ Medium the most. But it was a hard call — the 16″s and 18″s were also quite excellent. But at the 19″, things shift a bit."
