Zildjian K Custom Hybrid 9" Splash Cymbal – Dark Brilliance in Compact Form

The Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Splash combines two finishes on a single cymbal to deliver a distinctive sonic character. A brilliant finish inner half pairs with a traditional finish outer half, creating balanced brightness and darkness in one compact 9" splash. Developed in collaboration with renowned percussionist Akira Jimbo, this cymbal merges classic K Zildjian craftsmanship with modern hammering techniques for a contemporary sound that stands apart.

Fine, narrow symmetrical grooves etched across the surface stiffen the cymbal and contribute to its dry, focused tone. Despite its thin profile, the un-lathed bell design allows this splash to project with surprising volume and presence, matching the cutting power of heavier cymbals while maintaining its quick response and articulate character.
