Zildjian Gen16 Acoustic-Electric Cymbal Pack 13 & 18

Gen16 Acoustic Electric Cymbal Box Set (13" Hi Hat, 18" Ride)

Play electronic drums? You need these cutting-edge cymbals! Crafted in partnership between Zildjian and Gen16, Gen 16 Acoustic Electric Cymbals are actually cymbals. That is, they're legitimate Zildjian cymbals that play at reduced volume - about 75% less volume, thanks to a unique perforated pattern. That means you can play them exactly how you play any other cymbal, using any stick, mallet, or technique. The full decay is there, and they respond to your every playing nuance.A patented, discrete dual-pickup system in the cymbal mount picks up the sound of the cymbals. And, in tandem with a DSP engine, they amplify and tone shape the cymbal's output to get them at levels the whole audience can hear. Finally, you can make playing your electronic kit as fun as playing your acoustic kit. Many players will want to use them with their acoustic kits for reduced volume in pit work or worship bands. For discriminating drummers, there's no choice but the Gen 16 Acoustic Electric Cymbal Box Set.Zildjian Acoustic Electric Cymbal Box Set Features at a Glance:Cymbals for electronic drum kits13" AE Hi Hats18" AE RideAE ControllerThree AE PickupsCablesMoun ting KitDon't settle for rubber pads, put the Gen16 Acoustic Electric Cymbal Box Set to work for you!
