After two years of intensive research and design, Zildjian introduces a new modern cymbal voice: the S Family. This versatile collection of bright and expressive cymbals was built to produce a balanced frequency response, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles.
With an exceptionally quick and sensitive response from the lightest touch, S Family thin crashes feature a bright, full crash sound with a beautiful shimmery sustain. Smaller size thin crashes are light and quick, and also work well as stacker cymbals.

I'm a new drummer and got a 6 piece Ludwig kit for my 60th BD! It came with the I series hats, crash and ride, 14/16/20. I have absolutely had a blast, but after replacing all the drum heads and learning to tune them, I completely obsessed over how to upgrade the cymbals. I fell in love with the K Sweets and K Custom Darks but just couldn't see spending $1K+ on a pack. I also fell in love with the A customs but again, as a new drummer just had a hard time justifying spending $800+ on that pack. I decided to keep the I series hats and ride, and I settled on the S Family Thin crashes; 16/18/20 and couldn't be happier with the purchase! The S Thins have a remarkably bright and full musicality about them with a nice sustain. It's exactly the sound I was hoping to have based on my obsessive review of all the best. The 20" to me sounds really awesome and somewhat dry and maybe a little dark. Again, I'm a new drummer so I'm not used to all the lingo. I considered the S Medium Thins (as well as all the As and Ks) and tested out every cymbal I could get a stick on which was a lot! For less than $500 I now have 3 awesome S Thin crashes to get me through the next levels of my drumming maturity. They really work well with my I series hats and ride too! REALLY nice upgrade! 60 ain't so bad!!!
S Family is a winner!

The 16" and 18" S Med-Thins are great cymbals for anyone looking to upgrade from the lower spectrum of Zildjian cymbals and not have to drop a fortune while doing so. I would even say they set a bar of their own. To me the B12 is a really good composition for quality, tonality and visually. I think it would be interesting to hear how a set of traditional or non-brilliant finished might sound too. Great job Zildjian!
