1986 - 1989 Zildjian Amir II cymbals were lathed. Like most sheet bronze (B8 alloy) cymbals, they were stamped from a uniform sheet of metal, pressed into a rough shape, machine-hammered, but then processed on a lathe to refine their thickness, weight, and bright, cutting sound. They are somewhat lighter in weight than Amir I cymbals and more similar in sound to other lathed Zildjian cymbals like the A line.

Read moreFor Sale Vintage Zildjian Amir cymbals 18" and 20"
Introduction: 1982
Discontinued: 1989
Background: This series was succeeded by the Amir II
Alloy: B8 (Also known as "Sheet Bronze" or "non-cast" in Zildjian's literature.)
Quality: Mid-Priced / Semi-Professional
Zildjian's Description: "The Amir is a non-cast, professional cymbal with the more metallic sound preferred by some drummers. Amir cymbals are the result of Zildjian Sound Lab technology and research into special alloys. Each one projects a clear, bright, controlled sound with fast decay for use on stage or in the studio. The focused energy of Amir cymbals delivers a lightning-fast attack with contoured overtones that decay quickly and smoothly for optimum miking. Amirs are made to Zildjian's exacting standards and are far more durable than other non-cast cymbals."
