Previously available only as part of a cymbal pack, the S Dark cymbals are now offered individually, giving you the freedom to curate your own unique sound palette. 

Craft your ideal setup and pair these new additions with your existing cymbals to create a truly personalized sonic experience.

Random hammering and a proprietary finish push S Family in a rich and explosive direction. Darker, more complex, and slightly drier than S Zildjian, S Dark cymbals deliver the distinctive sound and look you want, with the intensity and projection your music demands.

S Dark Crashes: 16” and 18” available. Explosive and thin, for those preferring a darker sonic flavor and quick response from their crash cymbals. With an exceptionally quick and sensitive response from the lightest touch, S Dark Crashes are rich and explosive, producing punctuating, dark crash sounds. S Dark Crashes are thin in weight, opening up quickly for accents or when frequent crashing is needed.
