How To Prevent Your Cymbals From Cracking

Zildjian

collapse expand iconDescription

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.
