Zildjian

Description

For the first EFX cymbal in the K Series, Zildjian has combined the same die-cut pattern featured in its A Custom EFX cymbals with the darker tone and traditional look of the K cymbals. This cymbal has a thin weight and a crash-size bell, so the response, decay, and projection are good.

Its sound is a dark and explosive combination of trash and white noise.

5. Ship the package to:
Avedis Zildjian Company

3. The cymbal was bought secondhand 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 The cymbal has previously been replaced by Zildjian.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.

Warranty Notes:
• Cost of shipping a damaged cymbal to Zildjian is the customers responsibility.

    My favorite cymbal in my Zildjian arsenal. The 18" has a great trashy crash effect as well as a powerful crash/ride and really cuts through. Highly recommend it for rock/metal genres.

  • I will get more zildjian Ks.

    I like to experiment with different sounds. I have another set of Zildjian product now. Adding the k efx provides a good contrast.

    Darker, a little dry, quicker decay, and slightly trashier than a regular crash. More complex than a regular crash for sure. I absolutely love this cymbal. I would like to get the 18" version as well sometime in the future.
