Frequently Asked Questions

Zildjian FX cymbals are specialty cymbals designed to add unique tonal colours to a drum kit - including China cymbals, trash crashes, FX stacks, bells, and splash cymbals. They are used alongside a standard cymbal setup to add character and texture.
A China cymbal has an upturned bell and a raw, unlathed edge that produces an aggressive, trashy, cutting sound - very different from the smooth, controlled tone of a standard crash. China cymbals are popular in rock and metal for their distinctive, abrasive character.
A cymbal stack is two cymbals mounted together, producing a short, sharp, cutting sound with minimal sustain. Zildjian FX Stacks come as pre-matched pairs with a mount included, making them easy to add to any setup.
A ZXT Trashformer is a small effects cymbal designed to sit on top of an existing hi-hat or crash cymbal. It adds an instant trashy, cutting texture to the cymbal beneath it without requiring an additional stand.
Zildjian FX cymbals are popular across rock, metal, and electronic hybrid drumming, where unusual tones and aggressive accents are valued. FX stacks and bells also work well in studio and session contexts where a distinctive sound is needed.
Yes - next day delivery options are available across the UK on all Zildjian FX cymbals. You can also visit our drum store in Horncastle, Lincolnshire to try cymbals in person before you buy.
