Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hats Pair
Developed in conjunction with leading drum stylist Akira
Jimbo, the Zildjian K Kustom Hybrid Hi-Hat Pair 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".
"Maximum versatility is the main idea with the Hybrid series. I worked with
Zildjian to design a line of cymbals where brilliance and darkness coexist. I
think the sound we came up with sets the new standard for the 21st
Century."-Akira Jimbo
