The Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal 22" brings life to your drum set with its rich, complex sound.

Dark, Warm Undertones With Stellar Stick Response

The K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal 22" has a dry, full stick sound with warm, dark undertones. It offers stellar stick response, allowing drummers to articulate rhythms and accents with ease. The K Custom series is specially designed to provide more volume and cut than traditional K Zildjians, with a quick attack and controlled decay.

Versatile Trashy Crash Qualities

While primarily functioning as a ride cymbal, the K Custom Dark Ride also possesses trashy crash qualities when struck forcefully at the edge. This versatility allows drummers to accent phrases or transition between ride and crash sounds smoothly. The K Custom Dark Ride's crash sound is trashy yet tightly focused, blending in well with its main ride tone.

Handcrafted Quality and Tradition

Like all Zildjian cymbals, the K Custom Dark Ride is handcrafted in the Zildjian cymbal foundry using techniques developed by Avedis Zildjian nearly 400 years ago. This time-honored process results in a musical instrument of the highest quality and tonal complexity. The K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal 22" continues the Zildjian tradition of excellence and innovation.
