The Avedis Zildjian Company is proud to announce the latest addition to its line of Artist Collection Cymbal Bags designed with drumming superstar, Tommy Lee. The new Tommy Lee Artist Collection Cymbal Bag not only captures the style and attitude of the drummer for Motley Crue and the hit show "Rock Star Supernova," but is also extremely functional.

Tommy's cymbal bag features a heavy-duty handle as well as backpack straps for easy carrying. A key chain holder sporting a metal beverage bottle opener, as well as "bullet" sleeves round out the details on the backpack straps. Tommy's bag will accommodate cymbals up to 22 inches in diameter and features the Signature Tommy Lee camouflage pattern with his "TL" logo and star treatment.

Additional features include an adjustable shoulder strap and carrying handle, one large Velcro pocket on the outside, one small pocket on the inside and a rubberized skid plate on the bottom of the bag.

"Spiral Trash" spiral-cut cymbal
Zildjian is also proud to introduce a unique new cymbal to its FX range of special effect instruments. Available in 16-inch and 18-inch sizes, the Spiral Trash comes in a traditional finish and with a wealth of sonic possibilities.

The Spiral Trash is a Zildjian sheet bronze cymbal that has been cut in a "spiral" pattern starting near the bell and going all the way to the edge. This results in the appearance of a coil when mounted and numerous playing possibilities. The Spiral Trash can be mounted on a regular cymbal stand so its coils wrap down around the stand itself, or hanging from an upside-down cymbal arm so the coils swing free below.

Playable on almost every part of the cymbal, the Spiral Trash has unique overtones and an almost wave-like timbre that can expand the sound of any percussion set up. An extraordinary "trash" sound and unusual shape provides countless options for percussion ensemble, marching band/drum corps, or drum set.
