WELCOME TO OUR PLAYGROUND

Drawing inspiration from artists, generations of music and sounds, and current trends from across the globe, the Concept Shop is an exploratory space for our R&D team, partnering artists, and Artisans in our Foundry to create. Here you’ll find small-batch, cutting edge, and often times, experimental cymbals and sounds that could be added to the Zildjian catalog based on demand.

21" K Projection Ride

Designed in collaboration with Craig Reynolds, the 21” K Projection Ride combines a raw, cutting bell with a powerful, crashable bow. The 21” K Projection Ride’s extra-large, unlathed, brilliant bell provides a massive bell tone with maximum separation and attack. The lathed bow offers increased spread and crashability, with a softer, buttery feel.

7" FX Break Bell

Designed in collaboration with Jay Weinberg, the Break Bell blurs the lines between bell and chime. With a conical cup, hammered, flanged edge and brilliant finish, this 7" bell speaks immediately with a unique blend of overtones. Inspired by sounds used in traditional eastern ceremonies and rituals, the break bell is at home in the heaviest music applications, but also anywhere unique, complex, musical overtones are required. The thinnest FX bell in the Zildjian family, the Break Bell speaks quickly, with a uniquely playable feel.
