This groundbreaking new Acoustic/Electric cymbal from Zildjian, a 18″ crash, comes with a dual condenser mic. Zildjian Gen16 AE cymbals combines low volume acoustic cymbals, an innovative new dual-head mini microphone system, and a controller/mixer with preset tone modeling that allows the user to experience an array of Zildjian tones and/or add effects to each real AE cymbal. The cymbals come in a full range of models including rides, hi-hats, and Chinas.
The Zildjian Gen16 Buffed Bronze cymbals are one of Zildjian’s groundbreaking Gen 16 concept. New buffed bronze cymbals deliver a richer, warmer and more authentic natural acoustic tone, and look absolutely stunning. This 18” Gen16 crash ride cymbal is perfect for practice at reduced volume, as well for use with the Gen 16 Digital Cymbal Processor.
Gen16 Acoustic Cymbals
Make no mistake – Gen16 cymbals are real, acoustic, natural sounding and responding Zildjian cymbals. Gen16 cymbals feature a unique range of holes that reduce sound pressure levels by up to 70 percent when compared to a standard cymbal. The result is a much lower volume without losing the rich authentic tone you would expect from a Zildjian cymbal. This makes Gen16 cymbals the perfect practice cymbal in environments when quieter playing is required.
Despite the huge reduction in sound pressure levels, Gen16 will still feel like a pleasure to play. These cymbals respond beautifully to every nuance and dynamic aspect of your sticking.
