Fashioned with a patented spiral lathing process that features pitting marks, lathing, and hammering patterns unique to each model, an unfinished bottom for drier sound, thinner weight than its predecessor for an easier crash and more pronounced wash while riding, and a traditionally finished bell for sharp accents, the Zildjian 22" K Custom High Definition Ride is a beast of many colors. Designed to function equally well in acoustic or electric environments, this cymbal's complex character sports the coveted dark timbre associated with the K line while bringing a slew of new features.
