20" K CUSTOM HYBRID RIDE
Zildjian Drum Set Cymbals 101
21" K CUSTOM HYBRID RIDE
How To Prevent Your Cymbals From Cracking
Description
The Zildjian 21" K Custom Hybrid Ride cymbal gives drummers a versatile instrument with a split personality. Developed with renowned jazz fusion drummer Akira Jimbo, the K Hybrid Ride features an unlathed inner half for articulation and definition and a traditionally lathed outer half for spread and crashability. The 21" size provides ample projection and complex overtones. This innovative cymbal is ideal for drummers seeking maximum versatility and tonal possibilities in both live and studio settings.
Unlathed Center Provides Crisp Attack and Bell
The unlathed, buffed center of the K Hybrid Ride offers drummers a distinct stick attack, clear bell, and controlled wash. The raw, unlathed bronze produces cutting, complex overtones with a quick decay for rhythmic articulation and maximum musicality.
Lathed Edge Increases Spread and Crash
In contrast, the lathed outer edge of the cymbal enhances spread, opens the sound, and increases crashability. The traditional Zildjian lathing technique infuses the cymbal with warmth, richness, and a wider range of tones. Drummers can move between the unlathed center and lathed edge for a diversity of sounds from the same cymbal.
Developed with Akira Jimbo for 21st Century Drummers
Zildjian developed the K Custom Hybrid series in collaboration with Akira Jimbo, a leading Japanese drum stylist, to meet the demands of modern music. Jimbo aimed to design cymbals "where brilliance and darkness co-exist," for maximum versatility. The 21" K Hybrid Ride achieves this vision, setting a new standard for expressive cymbals in the 21st century.
Premium, Innovative Cymbals from Zildjian
As part of the premium K Custom series, the 21" K Hybrid Ride is crafted from Zildjian's innovative and proprietary alloys to the highest standards of quality. This innovative ride cymbal produces a diverse palette of tones for any genre or playing style. Serious drummers will appreciate its premium quality, versatile performance, and ability to inspire new creative expressions.
