      Bryan Corey The original Z Series was legendary. Once Zildjian started to lathe those cymbals with the Z Customs and Z3 they lost the essence of the Z line since they were all heavy weight cymbals. Even the China’s were considerably thicker than most. I have a Z Custom 19” Medium Crash and it’s basically a trashy version of an A Custom. If they were brought back any models would be in the A line like they did with the Ultra Hammered China and I believe the Mega Bell Ride. I still want an original Mega Bell Ride. Those cymbals are amazing.

      @ElijahJohnsonDrums Z series was always a professional line and were always made from the Zildjian B20 alloy. You have to go to ZHT, ZBT, S, I, Planet Z to find lines that were made with a different alloy. All professional series Zildjian cymbals use the B20 alloy and are cast.

    I'm 73 going on 74 and I have been playing Zildjian's since '63. I still have my original 22" A - Zidljian medium ride that I bought at Ideal Music on Peachtree Street in Atlanta in '63. I seem to remember that I got it home on a Sears Sport Moped. Just jamming will old friends now , but I played many a gig with that cymbal along with my 16 and 18" Zildjian crashes.

      I'm almost 73 years old and bought my first "real" cymbals at a local music shop in 1965, not knowing anything except that, "Zildjian's are the best". I had been "banging" on cheap drums and cymbals in a garage band for a year and decided to become a real jazz drummer and take lessons and get proper equipment. I bought a pair of Avedis 14" matched hi-hats and one Avedis 19" medium ride. I really wanted a 20" ride but I was in a hurry and it wasn't in stock. I still have these cymbals and I've used them regularly ever since. Other than the cool patina, they look new with no "keyholing" and no damage at all.
      When a friend showed me a Zildjian the first time, he balanced it on his finger next to my ear and tapped the edge of it with his finger on his other hand. I could hear it hum. He kept it there for over a minute and it was still humming. I was in love! You can do this with any Zildjian.
      Although I've tried different brands and sizes over the years, these 1965 models are still the heart of my cymbal collection and they still sound the best for smaller jazz venues. I have a newer set of Zildjian "A"'s, one 18" medium crash and one 20" medium ride, which are great. But I still like my originals the best.
      Unlike the original Zildjian's without serial numbers, the newer Zildjian's do have them.
      Zildjian rules!

      @@Assimilator702 Actually, I did buy one of the best cymbals ever! It's a 20" Sabian AAX Medium Ride (2360 grams) in brilliant which gives it an "almost dark" sound with clear definition that does not override like the same size Zildjian K. The 18" A Zildjian Medium-Thin crash has a higher pitch that matches it perfectly.
      I also added a 20" Zildjian Crash Ride (2100 grams) with a darker sound but not too dark and not too much wash, but has a lower volume. It is matched with the deeper sounding 18" A Zildjian Medium Crash.
      I use the Sabian AAX for larger venues which require more volume and the K Zildjian for smaller venues with acoustic instruments.
      The old 19" Zildjian Avedis has been retired because - believe it or not - it has too much volume, wash and sustain. Something about those old ride cymbals makes them extremely powerful. It could actually be a crash cymbal for a heavy metal band.

From the safety glasses to the front office displays to the pride of the workers handling the ware to the blaring radio on the production floor. Nicely done, Sweetwater.

      Drummers are the salt of the earth. The things they have to go through. The physical accomplishments they have to make, the size of investment to build a pro kit, the logistics of getting their equipment anywhere. The amount of effort in load ins and load outs. Drummers are heroes. I'm a guitar player and whatever band I'm in I always make sure everyone helps the drummer with all their gear and appreciates what the drummer is doing! I love drums (I'm shit at playing them) but I have two pro level kits 🙂And countless snares

    I went cymbal shopping a while back and was horrified with the limited selection I found at most music stores. Then I went to Sweetwater when I was passing through Fort Wayne. Although the salesman found my request to hear multiples of the same model Zildjian cymbal a bit odd, they indulged me and brought some out from the warehouse and we were able to choose what we liked most. It's the only way to cymbal shop and another reason why Sweetwater rocks! Thanks for the great video!

      I've discovered a whole new world in the Sabian line which I do like.
      I've only owned one set of Paiste cymbals which is not enough to qualify me for judging them. The ones I owned were terrible, so I've been "gun-shy" ever since.

    Zildjian is my home when it comes to choosing cymbals. I have been playing them for twenty years and I have never found a cymbal that I just did not like. I started with the ZXT line (showing my age) and started to really get into investing in some professional level cymbals, or as one of my college percussion teachers would call “grown up” cymbals, in cymbals from the A Series, A Custom and K Custom lines.

      James S. You just haven’t seen enough of the cymbal making process to know better. They didn’t cover it in this tour but there’s a step in the process called back bending where the cymbal is bent many times over to counter the hammering process. So no...... nothing was done to that cymbal that Paul stepped on that won’t be done 10X worse as a necessary step in making a Zildjian cymbal.

    This is incredible to see. Unreal how much work goes into making these. Much respect and even more respect for the price point.

    I've been playing Zildjian forever. That was a very well made, "How it's made" video :-)

    That's why I'm still playing Zildjian, after owing my first ones, in 1969. ❤

    These guys work in a place that's practically a fantasy of mine. I wonder if they think about how lucky they are every day or if it's just a job after a while.

    Awesome factory 🏭 tour! I like the small clean laser etching, but can NOT stand the ever increasing size of the gaudy silkscreened Zildjian logos! Less is more ✨!
