Earlier this month, Zildjian teased its (perhaps surprising) Alchem-E electronic drum sets with a just-detailed-enough shot of one of the kits. At the time, the 400-year-old cymbal brand promised to reveal all on 10 May, and that’s exactly what it’s done, with the full Alchem-E lineup announced.

The Zildjian Alchem-E series comprises two versions, presented in three configurations – full-shell five-piece Gold-EX and four-piece Gold kits, plus the Alchem-E Bronze five-piece setup – all of which feature three-zone snares and toms, as well as triple-zone cymbals and mini-tube lugs.
