Zildjian K Custom 21'' Hybrid Ride Cymbal - Secondhand

Full Description

All Encompassing Sound

Made in collaboration with Akira Jimbo of legendary jazz-fusion outfit Casiopea, it makes sense that it has such an encompassing sound. The bell has a distinct, pearly sound that's separate from the rest of the cymbal. You could really drive some powerful grooves with that tone. Play it soft, play it loud, use mallets or nylon tips - there are no creative limitations with a cymbal of this caliber.

Hitting the Sweet Spot

The K Custom Hybrid cymbals were designed to be versatile. Providing a complex combination of bright and dark tones, they are audibly captivating in any situation. Casiopea drummer Akira Jimbo helped design these hybrid cymbals, all of which undergo a special mixture of manufacturing processes. The unlathed, buffed centre and lathed outer edge helps create the hybrid sound, with the outer lathed edge increasing crashability and providing characteristics similar to a thinner cymbal. The centre of the cymbal is where the more focused, defined sound is made. This tonal combination ensures these cymbals hit the sonic sweet spot between thin, heavy, bright, and dark.

Zildjian K Series

The cornerstone of jazz drumming. Played on countless hit records, the Zildjian K cymbals are intrinsically linked to the history of Zildjian cymbals. Jazz drumming legends such as Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, and Tony Williams have all been part of the Zildjian K history. The warm, rich yet versatile sound continues to inspire the drummers of today. The Zildjian K series is a consistently popular choice for drummers looking for professional, articulate sounding cymbals that are built to perfection.
