Zildjian - A Symphonic Germanic Tone 18" (la paire)

The Zildjian A Symphonic Germanic Tone 18" cymbals are designed for orchestral percussionists who need a large, dense sound that can fill a hall effortlessly. Also known as Wagnerian cymbals, these heavy cymbals are designed for large symphonic works where the crash must remain present long after impact. Here, sustain is clearly at the heart of the game: the cymbal retains its fullness and continues to breathe in space, which works particularly well in dramatic passages or very intense orchestral climaxes.

With their Medium Heavy weight, they develop a solid attack and a high volume. The sound character remains dark, powerful and very orchestral, with that traditional Germanic colour often sought after in classical and romantic repertoires. As part of a large ensemble, they retain their clarity while adding depth to the orchestral tutti.

The 18-inch diameter provides a good balance between projection and control, helping to keep accents precise without losing the richness of sustain. This pair is especially designed for situations where the music requires fullness, weight and real acoustic presence. The straps are sold separately, so each percussionist can adapt the configuration to suit his or her playing comfort and concert habits.
