Introduction: American made, starting in 1986, until the end of the series - 1993.
Background: The Z series was a totally new cymbal produced using the centuries-old Zildjian family secret casting and alloying process, but shaped by computerized hammers, and not lathed. This new process gave them a distinctive sound, a striking appearance, and unsurpassed tensile strength.

Hammering shapes included Convex Closed Hex, Concave Open Penta, Concave Five Point Star, and Convex Six Point Star.
