ZILDJIAN RELAUNCHES FX LINE WITH THE UNVEILING OF FX STACKS AND A NEW 22” CRASH OF DOOM The latest in innovative sound & design, fx Stacks provide a whole new arsenal of quick staccato sounds that can go from bright, fast and cutting, to trashy and raw. An exclusive Zildjian Cymbolt mount allows you too easily transition from a traditional HI Hat set up to a Stack. The Avedis Zildjian Company is pleased to announce the relaunch of the Zildjian fx line with the unveiling of fx Stacks and the 22” fx Oriental Crash of Doom. The new fx cymbals have been crafted to meet the demands of today’s popular music, and the desire of drummers to create unique, and alternative accents to their sound. The new Zildjian fx Stacks are the latest in innovative design, providing drummers with the ability to easily transition from a stack to traditional Hi Hats with the use of an exclusive Zildjian Cymbolt mount. Drummers now have the freedom to explore a variety of pitches and sounds in one versatile cymbal pair – transitioning from bright, fast, and cutting, to trashy and raw, simply by changing the set-up or adjusting the wing nut. The fx Stacks feature a rounded top with a distinctive hole pattern, and a flattened lip to fit seamlessly as a stack or Hi Hat with the cold-rolled steel bottom, to create a very quick, brilliant staccato sound. The fx Stack cymbal pair are available in 8”, 10”, 12”, 14” and 16” sizes. “Our fx cymbal line allows drummers to express their creativity and with the addition of our new fx Stacks and Crash of Doom, drummers will now have another voice of expression to choose from. The fx Stacks are a great combination of two alloys giving drummers the sound they want and the ability to change the cymbal pitch with simple turn of the wing nut.” says Victor Filonovich, Cymbals Category Manager for Zildjian.
