Zildjian Dampener Kit Gen16 for AE Cymbal System

Product Description

Dampener kit for Zildjian Gen16 AE cymbals, including a mini felt washer, screw and nut. Fits into any hole on an AE cymbal to reduce overtones, shorten decay, and lower the fundamental pitch.

Gen16 is Zildjian's AE (Acoustic/Electric) system, combining acoustic cymbals with electronics: the cymbals have had part of their mass removed to reduce volume by 60–70%, making them well suited for pairing with an electronic drum kit. A Direct Source microphone picks up the cymbal's sound directly, without the risk of feedback or picking up other sound from the kit or stage, and the signal is processed digitally through a DCP module with EQ and other effects, letting a single cymbal produce many different sounds while keeping the feel and dynamics of a regular cymbal.

This dampener kit is designed specifically for the AE Cymbal System. The dampening pin can be placed in any AE Cymbal hole to reduce overtones, shorten decay, and lower the fundamental pitch of the cymbal. By replacing the supplied rubber damper with a metal disc or washer instead, you can add the sound of a rivet or "sizzler" to any AE Cymbal.
