Zildjian Finger Cymbals - Thin Pair

Comments:

This is my second set (2 pairs) of Zildjian finger cymbals. The thin pairs are in well tuned so the are no off tune beats when the cymbals ring out. The cymbals rough finish allows good control of the cymbals while playing fast Middle eastern rhythm or muting strikes into clicks. Single holes in the cymbals are large enough to accommodate half inch wide elastic easily (I used the provided elastic to pull the half inch elastic through). The freer movement of single hole cymbals improves the sound I think. They are great for belly dance as well as orchestral play.

I ordered the thick pair first, due to some people saying the thinner pair does not project. Indeed, that can be the case in a denser musical setting, but it's nice to have the thinner pair available for more sparse musical settings and even for some slight contrast with the other pair. Based on the model names, I'm guess a medium pair might be in the offing soon. I have had other finger cymbals over the years; none come even close to the Zildjian pairs for clarity, articulateness, warmth, cutting through the mix, and being fun to play.

Best pair of finger cymbals you can get. The only exception would be if you need more volume, as these are on the quieter side...for that, get the Zildjian thick pair. However I prefer the tone quality of the thin pair, as they blend more.

These are easily some of the best finger cymbals I have ever played. Great fundimental of a m2nd between the two cymbals and amazingly pretty overtones that shimmer like sun on a wind blown lake. The only complaint I have is I would like to try the other pairs to see which is louder because the thins, although they sound amazing, are a little on the quiet side.
