NDG Unplayed Condition
At Nick's Drum Gear, unplayed means the cymbal has never been owned or played by an end user. Many of our cymbals originate from factory cymbal packs, giving them a known history from day one. Because they do not include a manufacturer's warranty, they are represented as unplayed rather than new.

Intro

The 19" K Sweet Crash is the perfect middle ground between responsiveness and power. Extra thin in weight with an unlathed bell and K hammering, it brings out a dark yet explosive crash tone that projects with warmth and depth.

Note on Handcrafted K-Series Cymbals
Zildjian K-series cymbals are individually hand-hammered and tonally shaped at the factory. Natural hammer marks, tonal shaping impressions, finish variation, and minor handling marks are normal characteristics of the series and are not considered defects.
