The Azuka cymbal line, designed for Latin percussionists, is also recommended for all styles of Afro-Cuban and World music. The first three models are: the 15-inch Latin Multi-Crash, 18-inch Timbale cymbal and the 13-inch Latin Crash.
The Azuka 15-inch Latin Multi was the first cymbal designed to be played with the hand, providing conga and bongo players with cymbal sound colors. The down-turned edge and special shape and weight allow for a full dynamic crash sound when played with hand or stick. For a "trashy" sound or sizzle effects, the cymbal is also available with three-rivets.
The 13-inch Latin Crash is paper thin and creates a bright, crisp and explosive crash for special accents. The 18-inch Timbale cymbal is a colorful crash with good ride definition and a musical, cutting bell sound. Avedis Zildjian Company at 22 Longwater Drive, Norwell, MA 02061. WEB at: www.zildjian.com
