Zildjian Gen16 12 Splash Cymbal

Zildjian Gen16 Buffed Bronze cymbals offer a richer and warmer tone compared to the previous Gen16 nickel-plated cymbals. These cymbals are designed with a patented pattern of holes in various sizes to decrease the sound pressure level of traditional acoustic cymbals. The cymbal experts at Zildjian have employed special manufacturing techniques to create the first reduced volume acoustic cymbal in the world.

With the GEN16 Digital Processor, users can customize the tone, volume, and balance of their cymbals. This innovative processor allows the cymbals to play and sound like acoustic cymbals, rather than trigger-based cymbals. It is ideal for low-volume settings such as band rooms, lesson studios, and churches.

The Gen16 cymbals feature a patented design that reduces volume by 50-70%, making them the perfect choice for musicians looking for a quieter practice or performance experience. Despite the reduced volume, these cymbals still produce natural cymbal tones when played with sticks, brushes, or rods.
