Custom made for Latin and world applications.
The 17" El Sonido Multi Crash Ride cymbal stems from the Avedis Zildjian Company's collaboration with
Marc Quiñones of the Allman Brothers. This cymbal provides a versatility of sound in any salsa, jazz, Latin, or rock
music setting.
Part of Zildjian's "FX" series of cymbals, the 17" El Sonido Multi Crash Ride features a lathed, medium-thin
weight outer portion of the instrument to help create a fast and expressive crash response. In contrast, the thicker unlathed
center area produces a maximum projection of sound while the unlathed, larger cup aids in providing ride articulation and
a pure bell tone. Zildjian's brilliant finish not only completes the El Sonido Multi's striking appearance but also helps
to provide extra sparkle to its sound.
Marc worked with Zildjian's developers for over a year to develop a cymbal that
would work in both Marc's Latin jazz group and in Allman Brothers Band percussion set-ups and could be played with a drumstick,
timbale stick, or by hand.
No stranger to designing instruments with Zildjian, Marc also plays his Marc Quiñones
Zildjian Artist Series "Rock" and Salsa" Timbale sticks, available via the box of recommended accessories.
A versatile and endlessly useful cymbal. Make it part of your cymbal arsenal today.
