Zildjian K Custom Special Dry 18" Crash Cymbal - Natural Finish

The Zildjian K Custom Special Dry 18” Crash is an earthy cymbal with an open raw tone and swimming in deliciously dirty, funked-up overtones. Its extra-thin to thin weight gives this crash a high level of response and allows it to explode into life, attacking with venom before and swiftly decaying. 

Although thin and lively, this cymbal has a robust, substantial feel to it that becomes most noticeable when sticking. Played at low volumes, it’s very expressive and responds with vibrant energy. Dig into it and it blooms into a full-bodied open wash with a warm, dry and raw voice. With decent volume levels and a mid-pitched sound, this crash is capable of cutting its way through any mix and will sit perfectly well within the sonic mid-range of any set-up.

Crafted from B20 Bronze alloy, this brilliant crash cymbal is individually poured, cast and cooled before being exposed to an expertly-conceived sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing entirely unique to this particular cymbal range. These processes imbue the cymbal with the signature K Custom sound - dark and alluring, with great projection, clarity, and durability.
