A little larger, a little louder. That’s what the Z3 medium crash is all about. Lay into one of the five different crash sizes and you’re in for a real sonic treat. No matter which cymbal size you play, Z3 crashes deliver a powerfully explosive sound with the precise and instantaneous crash response you expect.

The third generation of legendary Zildjian Z cymbals, the appropriately named Z3 line retains all the power and projection of the earlier Z and Z Custom models, but Z3s are way more flexible to maximize playability across many types of musical genres. All Z3 crashes are cast in the USA from Zildjian’s highly secretive 80% copper and 20% tin bronze alloy with a brilliant finish using tried and true, centuries-old Zildjian crafting methods. Advanced lathing techniques promote a more pronounced tonal groove to give you ear-splitting projection with superior musicality and a slow decay. Symmetrical hammering accentuates the bright sound and ensures remarkably consistent sonic attributes from one cymbal to the next. The medium or larger size bells have more than enough projection to handle penetrating highs that muscle their way through even the most amplified of rock or metal situations.
