This Hi-hat Pair Gives You Power, Warmth, and Control!

The Zildjian 14.25" K Custom Hybrid hi-hat cymbal pair provides great tonality and powerful sound while offering a high degree of control. This 14.25" hybrid hi-hat pair gives you the power of a 15" set with the control of a 14" pair. Ideal for both recording and live applications, the 14.25" K Custom Hybrid hi-hat pair features Mastersound hybrid hammering on the bottom cymbal. Zildjian increased the surface area where the cymbals contact each other, resulting in a warmer chick sound from the 14.25" K Custom Hybrid hi-hat pair.

Zildjian 14.25" K Custom Hybrid Hi-hat Cymbal Pair at a Glance:
  • Great performance for contemporary styles
  • Cast bronze for premium tone and projection
Great performance for contemporary styles

The K Custom Series is where the Zildjian Sound Lab went into innovation overdrive. K Customs arm you with a collection of modern K voices like no other. In this range, you'll find sounds that set the standard for modern cymbal design. Whether it's the warm shimmering tones of a ride cymbal or the complex sizzle of a pair of hi-hats, K Custom cymbals all create a uniquely beautiful sound. Many of the drummers here at Sweetwater rely on K Custom cymbals for the wide range of tones they need for contemporary music of every style.

Cast bronze for premium tone and projection

K Customs, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.

Zildjian 14.25" K Custom Hybrid Hi-hat Cymbal Pair Features:
  • Unique cast-bronze hi-hats that offer an extended tonal range
  • Extended playing surface offers excellent stick dynamics and cutting sound
  • Moderate sustain when splashed provides a rich open sound
  • In-between size provides extended power and playing control
  • Mastersound-style grooves on bottom cymbal provide a pronounced chick
The Zildjian 14.25" K Custom Hybrid hi-hat cymbal pair gives you powerful sound and great control!

Awesome Hats !!!!

Bottom Line and to the point.
I've been playing drums a long time and owned many drum sets from the mid 70's to Current.
These are the Best Hat cymbals I've ever owned and I have had many different makes all very well made.
These things sound perfect, not to deep not to light, just the right amount of sizzle.
Expensive Yes but TOY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR in this case, I'm very glad I spent the $$$.

Perfect

Perfect sound for what I need right now. Definitely worth the cash.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
