Why Antonio Sanchez Chooses Zildjian Cymbals

Check out Zildjian cymbals at Sweetwater here: www.sweetwater.com/c1018--Zild...
World-famous drummer Antonio Sanchez explains why he uses Zildjian cymbals. Antonio has been playing drums since the age of five, and saw his favorite drummers playing Zildjian cymbals right from the beginning. He explains that the sound of their ride cymbals in particular are perfect for jazz, and has found that Zildjian makes a cymbal for practically any type of sound and application that he wanted.
After earning a degree in classical piano from the National Conservatory, Antonio studied jazz at Berklee and would go on to establish an impressive career playing with world-class artists. His many achievements include collaborations with jazz greats such as Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Chris Potter, David Sanchez and Scott Colley, and composing music for the movie Birdman.

One of Bonham's first kits he played was a green sparkle Slingerland kit with Zildjian cymbals.

Bonham played Zildijan in the very early years. The first LZ album is recorded on a 22,13,16 kit with zildijan cymbals

Antonio is incredible! I would have loved to hear him play Istanbul Agop´s.

[@akissonor1]

Antonio, you Rock man!!! But Bonham and Zildjian.... no.... Paiste all the way.

[@timcline161]

Another amazing couple solos by Mr. Sanchez. Light years beyond so many drummers touted as being the best. He's the best.

[@ibalish0392]

[@GavinOswald]

But all of his idols switched to other companies?

[@michaelmattice4986]

God I love Zildjian...Each cymbal is a symphony...Hey! That's pretty good...You can use that Zildjian:)

[@dustyjann2121]

Why are all the comments about Bonham? Is that the only thing people heard during the video... Rediculous

[@blakegowan6623]

Was Bonham ever a Zildjian guy? Antonio is so tasty a player.....Zildjian all the way!! I really dig K Custom Dark series..

[@JulianFernandez]

Unless they´re Paiste... :)

[@frednovaes5888]

John Bonham and Vinnie play Paiste,Neil Peart and Dave W play Sabian? ,

[@davebarajas5308]

Bonham never played Zildjian. Him and Vinny C. both play(ed) Paiste.

[@ricohorton]

Why I have a zildjian and paiste cymbal setups. BWAAAHAHA

[@bradencutright-head6629]

Dave Weckl played Sabian. Just an FYI

[@mpcvore]

Bonham played Paiste cymbals, not Zildjian.....!!

[@dustyjann2121]

Why is it that Zildjian always makes custom requests for their artists but never the customers. If I wanted a 24" or 26" K Custom Dark Ride the answer would be no. But if a player requests it then they'll try it. I always see artists cymbal set-ups with models that don't exist. This is what sets Sabian and Zildjian apart even though they're the same family. Sabian cares about everyone, and Zildjian only trusts they're artists opinions and requests. Zildjian is just too busy to try and fullfil everyone's custom needs in my opinion. I love Zildjian cymbals but...

[@timcline161]

Bonham most definitely played zildjian cymbals, not PaistePaiste

[@MELONenSURPRISE]

Not one single note played right ...
