Zildjian K Custom Hybrid 20" Ride Cymbal - Multi-surface Finish

The Zildjian K Custom Hybrid 20" Ride Cymbal provides a vast range of tonal options that enable players to apply this cymbal to any style or genre. This versatile ride was developed in conjunction with infamous jazz-fusion drummer Akira Jimbo, whose eclectic style was best served by a hybrid finish; an unlathed inner half and lathed outer half delivers the wide range of dynamic complexity required for his demanding style and offers a contrasting voice dependant on which zone you choose to strike.

This ride is perfectly suitable for both live and studio use and possesses the signature K Custom character we all know and love but with a unique, high-contrast sonic delivery. You'll love the way it broadens your kit's sonic potential. This K Custom Hybrid Ride has a dark, luxurious side and a crisp brilliant side which transition seamlessly when played from bell to edge. This grants you access to all-new levels of dynamic expression that are impossible to reach with single-finished cymbals, adding a whole new character to your setup. 

Crafted from B20 Bronze alloy, this ride 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.
