Zildjian Cymbals @ 2013 Winter NAMM

Zildjian shined a spotlight on one of the its most revered lines — a renewed and revised A Series — at the 2013 Winter NAMM Show.

Our intrepid product reviewer Brad Schlueter outfits his kit with a full set of new Istanbul Mehmet Carmine Appice Realistic Rock signature cymbals.

Considering the growing interest in Mastodon, the timing is perfect for Meinl to release the unusually singular Mb8 Brann Dailor 21" ride cymbal.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Zildjian A Custom cymbals, happy birthday to you. And thanks for the new 21" ride.

You need these, you want these. You just might not know it yet. A little history will stimulate your appetite.
