Amir
Introduction: 1982
Discontinued: 198?
Background: Zildjian's budget line of the era. This series was succeeded by the Amir II series.
Alloy: CuSn8 (Also known as "Sheet Bronze" or "non-cast" in Zildjian's literature.)
Quality: Mid-Priced / Semi-Professional
Zildjian's Description: "The Amir is a non-cast, professional cymbal with the more metallic sound preferred by some drummers. Amir cymbals are the result of Zildjian Sound Lab technology and research into special alloys. Each one projects a clear, bright, controlled sound with fast decay for use on stage or in the studio. The focused energy of Amir cymbals delivers a lightning-fast attack with contoured overtones that decay quickly and smoothly for optimum miking. Amirs are made to Zildjian's exacting standards and are far more durable than other non-cast cymbals."
