Pitch Black cymbals were specifically designed to be coated, and played loud! Zildjian started with high-performance Bronze 12 alloy with its enhanced tin content, then added weights, sizes, and profiles guaranteed to deliver the brightness and presence required for rock applications. Zildjian has developed a proprietary coating process that makes the cymbal durable and strikingly beautiful yet still able to open up like a cymbal should. This Pitch Black Cymbal Box Set includes a 22" Ride, 18" Crash, and 15" Mastersound Hi-Hats. These cymbals are unlike anything you or your fans have ever heard or seen before. The only way Zildjian could make these any more rock would be to put leather pants on them.
