With a fast, bright chick that cuts through even the loudest mixes, the K Custom Dark hi-hats are perfect for any style of music.

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. The K Custom cymbals are specially designed to provide more volume and cut with a quicker attack and decay than traditional K Zildjians.

    5. Ship the package to:
    Avedis Zildjian Company
    RA#

    1. It has been misplayed, dropped, played with excessive force or treated abusively.
    2. The center hole is worn due to improper stand set-up or abusive play.
    3. The cymbal was bought second-hand or used in a lease program.
    4. The cymbal has previously been replaced by Zildjian.
    5. More than two years have passed since the cymbal was purchased.

      I picked up a used/abused pair of 13's because they sounded great in the store. They appeared to have been stored in a barn, under a pigeon roost, but cleaned up okay with CLR in the sink. Anyway, LOVE them. Great chick, although a bit softer than my New Beat hats (which I always play with the bottom on top), a buttery feel under the stick, yet good articulation on faster passages. The "wash" on open hat use is great too. Finding these nasty hats led me down the dark path- to a 20" K Custom Dark ride and 18" K Custom Dark crash.

      I bought these along with a 22" ride. The hi-hats are bright but very diverse and produce sounds that can change the feel of your playing. I like this purchase and glad to have it with my collection.

    • Exactly what I expected
