Professional cymbal with multiple tonal options.
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
