The Gen16 AE Cymbal System takes electronic cymbals to a new horizon. Made of real metal, this 16" crash is the first electronic cymbal to actually feel like the real thing. The 'pickup' utilizes a patent pending, dual-head mini microphone design. It may look like the size and shape of a crash cymbal, but with the Zildjian Digital Cymbal Processor it can become anything from an A Custom splash to a ZXT ride.
