Cymbals

The K Zildjian Sweet Collection extends the iconic K Family into a new direction of tonal colors that are dark, sweet, and responsive. K Sweet Crashes are extra thin in weight with an unlathed bell and feature the traditional K style hammering technique that help to deliver a darker sound with a fast attack and great response.

Developed in conjunction with renowned jazz drummer Adam Nussbaum, the 22" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride is a versatile instrument that works well in small to medium size musical settings.
The legendary "K Con" is the pinnacle of the Zildjian cymbal line, renowned for its perfect blended sound quality. Complex hammering contributes to the cymbal's unique sonic identity and dark tones that can be at once cutting and smooth. Made in small batches using a 14-step process, every K Constantinople has its own signature voice.

Unique pairing, modeled after Steve Gadd's personal hihats. The hihats feature a slightly undersized (13 15/16"), medium weight top cymbal and a medium-thin bottom cymbal. A crucial aspect of Steve's playing style, the hihats also have an exceptionally controlled foot feel, capable of producing a full range of dynamic sounds using just the foot. Ideal for any playing or recording situation.

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.

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Crash-Ride is a cymbal you can be confident in, and when taken on a gig, it will function however you need. As a crash, it opens easily with a warm voice and medium sustain allowing it to be used in any musical application. As a ride, it features great separation between the stick definition on top and the warm wash underneath, and the bell is clear and pronounced providing plenty of cut when needed. This is a cymbal that any working drummer would benefit from having in their cymbal bag.
