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.‎
