Zildjian 14 1/4″ K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hat Cymbals

Description

Developed in conjunction with leading drum stylist Akira Jimbo, the Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hat Bottom features an innovative brilliant/traditional surface that produces different tones depending on where the cymbal is played for a musical “darkness with brilliance” combination. The inner half features the unlathed, brilliant finish of the K Custom Ride, while the outer half features the traditionally finished K Zildjian lathing. The unlathed section helps control the wash and sustain, making it ideal for recording and live situations.

The innovative “Hybrid Hammering” on the hi-hat results in reverse Mastersound grooves by hammering into the bottom of the cymbal from the opposite side. This results in increased surface area contact between the top and bottom cymbals, and a warmer chick and wash than normal Mastersound hammering. Akira specified the 13-1/4″ size to combine the power of a 14″ size and the control of a 13″.

The 14″ HiHats capture the same sound as the existing 13″ models but with extra volume and more breadth of sound and feature the same “Hybrid Mastersound” hammering on the bottom cymbal.

Weight: Medium Thin/Medium
Finish: Traditional Outer Half, Brilliant
