Nickel Silver (NS12, Packfong)

This is the brightest sounding cymbal alloy. NS12 is another material often found in budget cymbals. The typical formula is 12% nickel and 24% of zinc, the rest being copper. The nickel component is responsible for the silvery look and bright sound. Nickel silver usually has more sustain than brass, but less than bronze. The frequency spectrum is less broad than with bronze, making the sound very focused, even narrow. Again, not all NS12-made instruments are minor quality. Namely the famous Paiste gongs are made of nickel silver. CuNi, as it is also named, is like B8 in wide industrial use.

Examples of nickel silver cymbals: Zyn, Meinl Marathon N12, Paiste 402, Sabian Glennie's Garbage

In ascending order of quality
Yours was probably around 1998 onwards ni-release, partnered with premier drums (though at some point meron ding sonor sets na may kasamang ganito). Hope that helped. :-D

In ascending order of quality
  • ZYN - your model. entry level NS12 alloy.
  • 2 STAR ZYN - pretty much hit/miss. Mid level, probably made from NS12 still.
  • 5 STAR SUPER ZYN - collectible models. Rumored to be B20.
Yours was probably around 1998 onwards ni-release, partnered with premier drums (though at some point meron ding sonor sets na may kasamang ganito). Hope that helped. :-D

Thanks po mga sir...
