Introducing the Zildjian 19" K Custom Hybrid China Cymbal, a revolutionary creation in the world of percussive instruments. Developed in a creative partnership with renowned drum stylist Akira Jimbo, this cymbal redefines versatility in sound design. A fusion of two contrasting finishes - an unlathed, brilliant finish on the inner half and a traditionally finished K Zildjian lathing on the outer half - results in a cymbal capable of delivering two distinct sound dynamics.

The unlathed inner section controls the wash and sustain of the cymbal, making it an ideal choice for recording and live performances where sound control is critical. The outer half, with its traditional finish, adds a unique tonal quality to the cymbal's performance.

The K Custom Hybrid China Cymbal is not just about control and versatility. Its thinner design lends it a broad, breathy quality that projects abundantly due to its unlathed bell, making for a unique and inspiring musical statement. Whether you're a jazz-fusion drummer or a rock enthusiast, this cymbal is designed to enhance the range of rhythmic textures you can generate, making it a worthy addition to any drum kit.
