Zildjian Planet Z cymbals carry on the tradition of innovative metallurgy that exists within all levels of Zildjian cymbals. The exclusive alloy used to make Planet Z cymbals is a proprietary blend that gives cymbals focus, brilliance, and musicality. The 16" Planet Z crash responds with a pronounced punch that's great for accents to downbeats. The 13" Planet Z hi-hats exhibit a clean, crisp attack that won't get lost in a mix.
