Dark, exotic, mellow sound for special effects.
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.

Quick, short crash.

Zildjian's classic sound is embodied by A Zildjian and immortalized in countless recordings by the greatest drummers of all time. Known for their versatility, these bright cymbals range from paper thin and delicate to extra heavy and cutting. Recent adjustments were made to the curvature and weights of many current models to capture the sweet spot of the classic A sound, producing crashes, rides, and hats that reflect today's musical styles.

Before the Ride, HiHat and Crash cymbal models ever existed, the classic Splash was found on the earliest of drum sets. It remains one of the most popular cymbals ever produced and can be applied to any form of music for quick, short crash that bursts with a classic voice that is pure, bright, and expressive.

This special effects crash cymbal has a unique set of laser generated "cut outs" that allow it to produce a quick, dry and trashy sound used for accenting and punctuating. The brilliant finish makes this "must have" shimmer like any A Custom.
The choice of renowned rock, metal and fusion drummers, A Customs feature a brilliant finish and radical new hammering techniques that deliver a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound, but with a contemporary feel. A Customs are not too dark and not too bright with a fast response and clean attack.

High-end, clear definition. Clean "ping" sound.

The K Zildjian Sweet Collection extends the iconic K Family into a new direction of tonal colours that are dark, sweet, and responsive. K Sweet Hi-Hats feature a thin top, extra heavy bottom and un-lathed bells, giving these cymbals a dark sound with a solid chick and fully body wash.

Mastersound HiHats feature crimped edges on the bottom cymbal, which not only prevents air lock, but creates a lively, fast “chick” sound and an overall balanced tonal presence. Choose 13” diameter for more control and articulation, or 14” diameter for a versatile range of frequencies and full-bodied response

Designed with Akira Jimbo to combine darkness and brilliance. Thin crashes and splashes to project like heavier cymbals due to the unlathed bell.
