Cymbal Making Process
“The Cymbal’s secret alloy recipe provides a dynamic sound across the Zilli range, they’re perfect for recording as well as live set ups in all sorts of environments. The traditional age-old hammering process ensures that the cymbals provide long lasting, exceptional sounds not available with existing mass-produced factory-hammered cymbals.
We’re all looking for that something special and we know it when we hear it. At Zilli we’re not interested in churning out pieces of metal with a logo, signature or design gimmick: we are committed to creating a piece of sonic craftsmanship for the discerning drummer in each and every cymbal.
Zilli Cymbals started with a dream: A dream to make a range of high quality, hand-hammered cymbals at a price every drummer can afford. A Zilli Cymbal is uniquely crafted by hand in Turkey thanks to a team of experienced cymbal makers. This ensures the highest standards throughout the entire process and guarantees authenticity of the highest quality.
Cymbals are only ever as good as the alloys they start out as. At Zilli Cymbals, we source the finest metals and have tailored each recipe to obtain a unique, dynamic and consistent sound for each cymbal series.
The alloys are a mix of tin, copper (brass) and special elements such as zinc, silver, gold and other metals, mixed to various proportions depending on the desired sound of the cymbal.
The metal mixtures are heated up to 1500C, stirred, refined and impurities removed before being poured into steel pans.
The raw sheets (now vaguely resembling a cymbal) are cooled and reheated for rolling through a special press. Cymbals undergo this process a number of times to ensure the consistency and strength throughout the entire cymbal.
Each and every Zilli Cymbal is carefully and meticulously hand-hammered by expert cymbal makers. This process is the secret to the incredible quality, dynamic range and unique tonal qualities of Zilli Cymbals.
Many so-called ‘hand-hammered’ cymbals in the market today are actually manufactured and hammered by machines and given quick once-over to create the illusion of “hand crafted” cymbals. Depending on a cymbal’s size, each Zilli Cymbal has an average of 5,000 hammer hits.
