Bright. Stronger high-end than Thin Crash.
Zildjian's classic sound is embodied by A Zildjian and immortalized in countless recordings by the greatest drummers of all time.

Unique crash with dry, trashy overtones. Fast response with very quick decay. Speaks quickly, then dies. Very dark and full-bodied.

Dark and warm but with stronger high-end qualities.
K Zildjian cymbals continue to inspire drummers today with their deep, warm, and expressive sounds developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey. Elaborate hammering and lathing techniques work the Zildjian alloy into versatile cymbals that are dark yet well suited for a wide variety of musical genres from jazz to rock.

The new K Cluster Crashes venture into new sound colors that are dark, funky, and trashy, filling the drummer’s need for alternative sounds. The K Cluster Crashes feature the traditional K style hammering technique with additional “cluster” hammer marks. They are extra thin in weight and include an unlathed bell for greater tonal spread and additional sound frequencies. These cymbals are available in 16”, 18” and 20” models.

Good Stick definition, yet good degree of colorful, warmer undertones.

True to their name, the Fast Crashes have a smooth, fast decay following an initial strong attack. Featuring a new bell design, these Crashes are bright, full-bodied and musical. The thinner weight provides a soft, "buttery" feel for plenty of playability.
