Zildjian's innovative K Custom "over-hammering" technique applied to these very thin splashes creates warmer, darker cymbals that are even more responsive, versatile, and sophisticated than ever before! The K Custom cymbals are specially designed to provide more volume and cut with a quicker attack and decay than traditional K Zildjians. Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, and scores more musical movers have sworn by the deep, dry, shimmering K sound developed in 19th century Turkey.
