Revision as of 12:57, 26 April 2023
Introduction: 1985
Discontinued: Sometime in 1995*
- Reportedly the series was discontinued over environmental concerns regarding the electroplating process.
Alloy: B20
Quality: Professional
Innovation: The series, introduced at NAMM in 1985, was created in response to the then-hugely popular MTV generation of music. The silvery appearance was not painted on, but applied using a proprietary electroplating process developed by Zildjian. The name derives from its resemblance to Platinum; the cymbals themselves contained none of the element. The original logos were black, while around 1990 these turned to blue. Many models and sizes were readily available in Platinum, while any others from the A Zildjian series were available by special order with an upcharge for the finish. ($12 USD)
Applications: All musical situations, but especially popular with Rock and Metal drummers.
Sound:
- Paper Thin Crash - 14" 16"
- Thin Crash - 13" 14" 16" 17" 20"
- Medium Thin Crash - 16" 18"
- Medium Crash - 16" 17" 18" 20"
- Rock Crash - 16" 17" 18" 19"
