The Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack provides drummers with a selection of dark, melodious cymbals that offer richness, warmth and musicality. Comprised of 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash, 18" crash and 20" ride cymbal, this cymbal pack produces tones that are full yet cutting, with a fast decay—ideal for jazz, country, and world music styles. Overhammering gives these traditionally finished cymbals a slightly trashy quality, adding character to your playing. For drummers seeking cymbals with depth and nuance, the Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack delivers.

14" Hi-Hats Provide a Solid Foundation

The 14" hi-hats in this Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack offer drummers a solid rhythmic foundation with a quick, articulate response. Closed, they produce a tight, sloshy "chick," while open they yield a warm wash with complex high-end. Controllable and versatile, these hi-hats complement a wide range of musical genres.

16" and 18" Crashes Offer a Range of Accents

This Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack provides drummers with 16" and 18" crash cymbals that provide a spectrum of accents, from cutting to full and splashy. The 16" crash cuts through mixes with a fast, trashy response, while the included free 18" crash opens up to a wider, more expansive crash with richer overtones. Together, these crashes offer drummers highly musical options for punctuating phrases.

20" Ride Cymbal Sings with Complexity

The 20" ride cymbal in this Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack provides drummers with a musical ride that opens up when played, yielding a wash of warm, shimmering overtones with a hint of trashiness. Its large size provides ample real estate for riding patterns, bell accents, and crash/rides. Sensitive and articulate, this complex ride cymbal inspires creative playing.

Premium Cymbals Made to Inspire

Handcrafted using traditional cymbal-smithing techniques, the Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack provides drummers with premium, musical cymbals designed to inspire creative playing. The K Custom series is renowned for cymbals that offer exceptional quality, tonal complexity and musicality—and this dark, melodious cymbal pack delivers on that reputation. For drummers seeking to infuse more richness and depth into their playing, the Zildjian K Custom Dark cymbal pack is ideal.
