    Nope. They are machine hammered. All modern Zildjians are.

    I thought they were, but when Northern Redneck said they weren't I went to Zildian's website to check it out. They talk about hammering, but don't mention whether it is done by hand or machine. This would lead me to believe that Northern is right, since if they were hand hammered they would say so.

    I have a pair of K mastersound hats, they are certainly hammered but doesnt say anywhere that they are so by hand... Like you guys mentioned before their machine hammered.. Its Sabians who go all around proclaiming their use of hand hammering on their HH lines, not Zildjian... They usually talk about state of the art (translation: machines) and stuff...
    I even read somewhere that this fact is the only difference between Zildjian and Sabian.....

    they'll be hammered by a man using the machine instead of using a hammer opposed to fully robotic.

    From what i seen the hammering marks are too perfectly aligned to be hand hammered.

    agreed, my wuhan is well shaped, but the edges and the dips are obviously man-made
