Bigger isn’t always better, but better is always Zildjian. Take their hard-hitting Z3 splash cymbal for instance. It may be small in size, but the Z3 more than makes up for that with its mighty sound power and projection capabilities. That’s why the Z3 splash is the perfect cymbal for accenting and embellishing so many different types of music—the sounds they generate simply don’t get lost in the musical shuffle. It’s definitely a powerful addition to your cymbal arsenal!

Due in part to its large bell, extensive hammering and advanced lathing techniques, third generation Zildjian Z3 cymbals explode with unique sound properties and pronounced tonal grooves that plough right through competing guitars and vocals. The Z3 splash is notable for its bright, high-pitched sound, loud volume, balanced cut and medium sustain. Each one is cast from a durable 80% copper/20% tin cast bronze alloy with a brilliant finish. The cymbal is also quite flexible so you never feel like you’re laying down beats on a clunky manhole cover.

Legendary rocker Tommy Lee of Motley Crüe/Methods of Mayhem and Eric Singer of KISS and Alice Cooper fame are fans of the Zildjian Z3 splash, using it often to drop a steady stream of accents and sound effects into the legions of hit songs they pound out.
