Hey ladies and gentlemen, what kinda zills would you advice to buy to newbie? Does it make a difference wat metal, or is it just different look? |
Hi Reen.Bloom, there are many quality zills on the market:Zildjian, Saroyan, Turquoise and lesser known brands as well. The best zills have two slots at the dome so that the elastic will stay secure. Zills are made with different shaped domes(the bell portion) that helps create the sound. Some are mellow while others are high pitched. For newbies, small diameter of 2 1/16 should fit right. Incidently, at a Master class with Artemis last year, she recommended that most of us needed larger zills(we were proficient with the smaller sizes). since then I bought Turkish Pro and Tutankhamen zills which are 2 1/2 inches in daimeter.. It took a while to get used to them, but I like them better. Try small than work your way up.
Good Luck
