What is a famous cymbal maker?
When I was growing up, the name Zildjian (Avedis Zildjian Co.) was synonymous with good cymbals. This was so for Orchestral, jazz and rock use. The drummers who couldn't afford to outfit themselves with all-Zildjian cymbals would supplement with Paiste cymbals, which were considered inferior, but at least affordable. There is an immense list of cymbal makers, though, some of whom make cymbals in varieties that range from fingercymbals (good for belly dancing and renaissance consort music) to humongous gongs (think RKO Pictures, if you're old enough!)Putting "cymbal" into wikipedia.org will get a nice long list!

Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Istanbul, Anatolian and Meinl are some of the most popular cymbals today. There are also brands like Wuhan, Stagg, and a few others. Like it was said before, it all comes down to personal preference. All these brands have some awesome cymbals and ranges available. If you are looking to buy a cymbal, don't just buy it if you are unfamiliar with its sounds and properties. I would suggest you go to a music store and speak to the pro in the cymbals department. You will also be able to test the cymbals and then make a choice.

What are cymbals typically made of?
The cymbals can be made out of a few different type of metals. Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Meinl, and others use brass, and bronze, with different copper to tin ratios of different types of bronze. The main metal used for cymbal making is bronze. Cymbal companies will typically use brass for absolute beginner cymbals because it has a harsher tone than the bronze.
What are Zildjian Planet Z cymbals made out of?
== == I believe Planet Z cymbals are sheet metal cymbals, forged from a durable copper & zinc alloy.Nickel silver as used in cymbal making is an alloy of copper and nickel, and an alloy with about 12% nickel is used for some beginners' cymbals. A very few specialised high-quality cymbals are also made from nickel silver, as are some top-quality gongs tending to the more modern and exotic sounds. Some maintain that the term nickel silver should only be used for alloys containing an appreciable content of zinc, and would call this cymbal alloy nickel bronze instead, but the use of the term nickel silverfor all cymbal bronzes with nickel as the main alloying metal is well established. Nickel silver is malleable and available as commercial sheet metal, and gives a bright tone but without the shimmer and sensitivity of tin bronzes. In the early to mid 20th century nickel alloy cymbals were far more widely produced and used, and so many older recordings were probably made using cymbals with a significant nickel content. Examples of nickel silver cymbals include: Some Foremost, Meinl Streamer and Marathon N12, Paiste 402 and some Exotic Percussion, Sabian Signature Glennies Garbage, Sabian Solar, some Zilco, and Zildjian planet z.
