The Zildjian S Series Performer Cymbal Set is the perfect upgrade from beginner brass. Designed for drummers ready to move beyond their starter kit without breaking the bank, the S Series offers the ideal balance of performance and value. It delivers the brightness needed to cut through a mix while maintaining the musicality your band will appreciate.

At the heart of these shiny discs is Zildjian's B12 alloy, a special recipe of 88% copper and 12% tin that bridges the gap between budget sheet metal and boutique bronze. It’s the Goldilocks of alloys — not too harsh, not too dark, but just right for modern music.

Balanced B12 Brilliance:

The B12 composition strikes a perfect balance between rich lows and shimmering highs, giving you a professional sound without the premium price tag.

Extensive Hammering:

Zildjian uses extensive machine hammering to dial in the sonic character, ensuring an even decay and a dynamic response that follows your stick work, from subtle ghost notes to full-blown grandstanding.

Fully Lathed Top and Bottom:

By lathing both sides, Zildjian opens up the metal, allowing it to breathe and vibrate freely. This results in a quicker response and a broader spectrum of tone, so every hit feels as good as it sounds.

Brilliant Finish:

These cymbals are polished to a mirror-like shine. Aside from making you look like a rock star, this brilliant finish helps smooth out the high end, taming harsh overtones and leaving you with a glistening,… read more bright shimmer.

Matched Weights:

No more guessing games. Zildjian has taken the headache out of cymbal shopping by matching these weights — Medium Thin crashes and a medium ride — to ensure they blend perfectly, so your kit sounds like a choir, not an argument.

Projecting Tone:

These aren't shy instruments. The S Series is engineered to project, ensuring that your intricate stick work and explosive crashes reach the back of the room without you having to break a sweat (or a stick).
