Zildjian

The 20" K Custom Session Ride features a clean, articulate stick sound, controllable wash with complex, dark overtones, a bright cutting bell, and dry short crashes.
Recently introduced, the popular Session series is the culmination of several years of work between Steve Gadd and the Zildjian Sound Lab to duplicate his classic and sought-after cymbal sound. The 14" hihats were modeled directly after Steve's personal cymbals with the 16" and 18" crashes representing Steve's favorite crash sounds.
Drawing from the spirit of the legendary K Zildjian range, K Custom cymbals are dark, rich and dry and enable today's drummers to utilize complex K sounds in a more modern musical environment. They feature traditional K hammering, plus a variety of additional modern hammering techniques that produce unique sonic capabilities. Recommended for modern jazz, studio, country and medium rock. K Customs are designed with today's diverse music scene in mind.
