Zildjian - a story of success

Zildjian can look back on almost 400 years of success. The great quality and the superb sound of the Zildjian cymbals has shaped the world of music throughout the centuries despite some ups and downs. After the company moved to the US in the 20th century the Zildjian company has established itself at the top of the cymbal making industry. Every drummer knows the name "Zildjian".

Quality made by hand

The K series was already introduced in the second half of the 19th century and set standards with its incredible resonance and the slim profiles that were absolutely unique at the time. Zildjian has continually optimized the series while keeping the alloy, which is still a family secret, the exact same since the early days. The unique K alloy as well as the elaborate hammering and lathing techniques by the experienced cymbal smiths make the K Custom Zildjian cymbals very versatile instruments. Different playing techniques open up a large range of low and high frequencies from soft to intense.

Set includes: 20" K-Custom Dark Ride, 14" K-Custom Dark HiHats, 16" & 18" K-Custom Dark Crash

- Added Value sound: The unlathed, polished center of the cymbal has a defined stick attack and strong, piercing bell. The lathed outside has a sound that really spreads and can even be crashed.
