Our Take on it:

Zildjian S Series Cymbals are the perfect solution for the drummer who needs a budget friendly cymbal, that isn't bottom of the barrel in sound or hierarchy. The S Family places itself in the totem pole just under Zildjians A Series and to be honest, the sound delivered by the S Series Cymbals is that the likes of A Custom or even comparable to Sabians AAX line. While the S Series technically replaced the ZHT line years ago, once you hear these cymbals - you realize they are light years above the once known 'mid-level' cymbal rank that ZHT once resided.

This S Series Cymbal Pack from Zildjian is the number one recommended cymbal pack from the drummers here at DrummerSuperStore, atleast as far as those looking for a good quality cymbal pack that doesn't come with an $800 plus price tag on it like the A Series. The pricepoint you find the S Family Performer set is just right, at $599 you get a 20" Ride with a Bell Shot that cuts through the mix of the rest of the instruments in the band. The 14" mastersound hats compliment the A Series Mastersounds as they also feature the wavy bottom hat with a weight proportionately heavier than the top - resulting in a matched perfect pair of sonic 'chick'. When you hear the S Series Mastersounds - you would think someone is playing the A's - and if you were blindfolded - telling the difference would not come of ease. The Medium-thin Crash you get with the S Pack is a blend of tonality with a sound feature closer on the higher and brighter side of the scale but abilities to capture the mid-range darkness when you give it less velocity in the strike. That's a 16" Medium thin crash you get right out of the gate with this S Pack, but that's not all. No, The Icing on the cake is once you do the math and add it up. The last piece to the amazing sonic arsenal from Zildjian is the absolutely FREE 18 inch Medium Thin Crash to compliment the 16 inch crash. If you do the math you will find it really is a free cymbal. You pay for the Hats, Crash, and Ride - and Zildjian Kicks in the matching Crash. You can't beat it.

Every member of drummersuperstore stands behind the S Series Cymbals as the perfect combination of affordability and rich, pure, and precise sound that fits perfectly above the lower end of the totem pole but gives the higher end a run for their money!
