The Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Crash 19" is an innovative cymbal designed for maximum musical expression. Developed in collaboration with renowned jazz fusion drummer Akira Jimbo, this professional-level cymbal features a brilliant unlathed inner half and traditionally lathed outer half for a diverse range of tones depending on where you strike. The thin, responsive bronze alloy opens quickly with a bright, cutting sound due to the unlathed bell, yet maintains enough body and warmth for projection in live settings.
Unlathed Inner Half Provides a Bright, Controlled Sound
The unlathed inner section of the K Custom Hybrid Crash 19" helps focus the sustain and wash for a tight, articulate tone that cuts through dense mixes. This makes it an ideal all-purpose crash for recording, where control and clarity are paramount. The raw, unlathed finish also helps bring out the natural complexity and overtones of the proprietary Zildjian bronze alloy used to cast this innovative cymbal.
Traditionally Lathed Outer Half Adds Warmth and Body
In contrast, the traditionally lathed outer half of the cymbal produces a richer, fuller tone with more spread and decay. Striking the lathed area results in a warmer, more rounded crash sound with a touch of darkness. By combining both unlathed and lathed finishes, the K Custom Hybrid Crash offers a diverse tonal palette for creative drummers to explore.
Thin, Responsive Design Provides Expressive Playability
Despite its relatively thin weight and size, the K Custom Hybrid Crash 19" projects with enough volume and cut to handle live gigs and recording sessions. Its responsive design opens up easily when played lightly, yet retains enough body for aggressive crashing. This highly dynamic cymbal gives drummers maximum versatility and the ability to play with a wide range of expression.
Premium Quality Backed by Zildjian
Handcrafted in the Zildjian cymbal foundry in Norwell, MA, the K Custom Hybrid Crash 19" is made from a proprietary Zildjian bronze alloy and cast using traditional cymbal-making techniques passed down through generations. As with all Zildjian cymbals, the K Custom Hybrid Crash is rigorously tested to ensure premium quality and performance before leaving the Zildjian factory.
