Zildjian A Platinum
Introduction: 1985
Discontinued: 1993?
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. Only the "A." Zildjian series was offered in this finish. The silvery appearance was not painted on, but applied using a proprietary electroplating process developed by Zildjian. The original logos were in black, while around 1990 these turned to blue. Many models and sizes were readily available in Platinum, while any others were available by special order with an upcharge for the finish.
Applications: All musical situations, but especially popular with Rock and Metal drummers.
