Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Zildjian dealer

The Avedis Zildjian Co, the world's leading cymbal manufacturer is proud to introduce a new line of cymbals named for the man who helped guide Zildjian into the 21st Century. The Armand Zildjian Cymbal Series includes nine new models and is based on the popular 19-inch Armand "Beautiful Baby" Ride. This series captures the classic "A" sound of the 1960's that helped define a musical era.

The new Armand Series is part of the "A Zildjian" range of cymbals, but offers its own unique characteristics. New shaping techniques create a slightly lower profile than the current A Zildjians and help to offer a special warm and smooth blend of overtones. Lighter weight specifications promote a faster cymbal response with special lower pitched overtones without loss of projection potential, and a tighter lathe pattern on the top of each model results in a unique feel.

During the explosion of rock and pop music of the 60's, the great drummers of groundbreaking bands used A Zildjian cymbals to make their mark. You can hear Zildjian's distinctive sound in the great recordings of that era, from The Beatles to The Beach Boys, from Cream to The Jimi Hendrix Experience, from The Rolling Stones to Chicago. The new Armand Series resurrects those sounds with these exciting new models.

Cymbal Pack
The 21-inch Armand ride is medium-thin in weight and offers a sweet shimmering quality of overtones without loss of control or Ride articulation and feature a larger sized cup for excellent bell access. The 16-inch Armand thin crash is extra fast, bright and shimmering with a warm full blend of overtones. Featuring a medium-thin weight top and a medium weight bottom, the 14-inch Armand Hi-Hats have a fast response and an articulate cymbal sound with a warm "chick" and are versatile enough for almost any style of music. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Zildjian products.

"Great quality and value. A keeper."

Sound: I am 63 years old and have been playing drums since I was 13. So I played rock and pop through the sixties and early seventies. These cymbals are great and bring back the sixties cymbal sounds. They are also very good for jazz. Feature: The set comes with a sturdy good quality cymbal bag. Ease of Use: These are very responsive cymbals and articulate well. Quality: What can you say? Zildjian are top of the line. Value: Cymbal packages usually save you money rather than buying separately. The 18" crash is an excellent bonus. Manufacturer Support: I have never dealt with the manufacturer so I can't comment. I have never needed any service for any Zildjian cymbal. The Wow Factor: I like the fact that these cymbals do not have the factory coating and will get a nice patina as they age. Eventually these will become collectibles. Overall: These will always be my mainstay and will probably last a life time with normal use and proper care.

Style of Music: freelance drummer rock pop and jazz

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Look great, sound great, now play great!"

Sound: I bought these Zildjian cymbals as an upgrade to Sabian's I was using. The guys in the band noticed right away the difference in sound. We are a variety band and do a little of everything and the cymbals respond super! Clean, precise, with a clear sound whether you are flailing away at them or just keeping beat with the ride. Feature: Hey what can I say..they are Zildjian! Can't get any better brand. Ease of Use: If you know how to play it's a no brainer..lol. Quality: These cymbals are a little more heavy than the other Zildjian's , higher brass content I guess. If you don't smash them flat they should last as long as you want them. Value: If you're like most muscians you have champagne taste and a beer budget and do the beat you can. When you can upgrade to these.. you won't be sorry. Manufacturer Support: I stated off with Zildjian cymbals back in the 60's and have used other brands at times. Always go back to the best though. The Wow Factor: Look good, sound good. Overall: Might augment the set with a china, and a rivet cymbal. If these were lost or stolen I would replace them with the same. I like the sound, don't like cleaning any cymbals..

Style of Music: rock, country, southern rock
