Frequently Asked Questions
’Sel’ refers to Zildjian’s Secret alloy – a closely guarded recipe offering a unique blend of clarity and warmth, distinct from their Bronze or Brilliant alloys.
The traditional inside finish, left unlatenated, allows for more complex overtones and a more organic, less clinical sound compared to a fully lathed cymbal.
While brilliant, the complexity in the Sel alloy prevents them from being overly harsh; they can work well in film scoring, but mic placement and engineering will be crucial to tame excessive brightness.
