Zildjian K Custom 19 inch Hybrid Crash

Professional cymbal with multiple tonal options.

Developed in conjunction with leading drum stylist Akira Jimbo, the Zildjian K Kustom Hybrid Crash cymbal features an innovative brilliant/traditional surface that produces different tones depending on where the cymbal is played for a musical "darkness with brilliance" combination. The inner half features the unlathed, brilliant finish of the K Custom Ride, while the outer half features the traditionally finished K Zildjian lathing. The unlathed section helps control the wash and sustain, making it ideal for recording and live situations.

The relatively thin design of the crash results in a very responsive quality. It opens up quickly but still has the ability to project loudly and cut into dense mixes due to the unlathed bell.

"Maximum versatility is the main idea with the Hybrid series. I worked with Zildjian to design a line of cymbals where brilliance and darkness coexist. I think the sound we came up with sets the new standard for the 21st Century."-Akira Jimbo

Product Overview
Bringing together a dual bright and dark tonality depending on the space the cymbal's hit, an odd 19" sizing for unique applications in crashing and riding, plus the signature traditionally-lathed outer bow and brilliantly-lathed inner bow with enlarged bell, the Zildjian 19" K Custom Hybrid Crash is a modern marvel in the world of cymbal-smithing. Originated by Akira Jimbo and favored by the likes of Joey Castillo, these cymbals have a complex and unique personality that will add character to any setup.
