Orchestral classics
The Zildjian Classical orchestral cymbals are handcrafted to deliver the expressive sound and dynamic control required for orchestral performance. Made from Zildjian's renowned cast bronze alloy, these hand-selected cymbals produce a rich, musical tone with a smooth attack and controlled sustain, making them well suited to concert halls, theatres and professional performance venues.
Developed for orchestral percussionists, the Classical series offers excellent balance across a wide dynamic range, allowing players to move seamlessly from delicate passages to powerful climaxes. Each pair is carefully matched to ensure a consistent tonal character and dependable performance in demanding ensemble settings.
Handcrafted cast bronze construction
Each pair of Classical orchestral cymbals is individually cast, hammered and lathed using Zildjian's traditional manufacturing techniques. This process creates a complex tonal character with a broad frequency range, giving players a responsive and expressive instrument.
Balanced orchestral sound
The Classical series is designed to produce a warm, full-bodied crash with excellent clarity and controlled decay. Their balanced response makes them suitable for a wide variety of orchestral repertoire, providing the control needed for both subtle musical passages and dramatic accents.
Matched for consistent performance
Every pair of Zildjian Classical orchestral cymbals is selected and matched to complement one another, ensuring a uniform response and tonal balance. This careful pairing helps percussionists achieve a cohesive sound throughout rehearsals and performances.
Please note: these cymbals are supplied without straps or pads. We would suggest ordering
