Product Description
Zildjian K Custom Hybrid 17" Crash Cymbal — Modern Brightness Meets Classic Darkness
The Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Crash Cymbal blends two distinct finishes to deliver a versatile voice that bridges traditional and contemporary cymbal sounds. Developed in collaboration with renowned percussionist Akira Jimbo, this 17" crash combines a brilliant finish on the inner half with a traditional finish on the outer half, creating a balanced tonal palette that works across multiple musical styles and playing contexts.
Built with a combination of K Zildjian alloy and modern hammering techniques, the K Custom Hybrid features a thin profile that punches above its weight class. The un-lathed bell design projects with the power and presence of heavier cymbals, while the fine pattern of narrow symmetrical grooves stiffens the cymbal and enhances its naturally dry articulation. This construction delivers crisp, focused crashes with controlled sustain.
