About This Listing

Developed in conjunction with leading drum stylist Akira Jimbo, the Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hat Bottom features an innovative brilliant/traditional surface that produces different tones depending on where the cymbal is played for a musical "darkness with brilliance" combination. Details Developed with one of Japan's top drummers, Akira Jimbo, the Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hat Bottom features an innovative brilliant/traditional surface for a musical "darkness with brilliance" combination. The inner unlathed section helps control the wash and sustain, making it ideal for recording and live situations.

The innovative "hybrid hammering" design on the bottom cymbal results in increased surface area contact between the cymbals and a warmer chick and wash than normal Mastersound hammering. Akira specified the 13-1/4" size to combine the power of a 14" size and the control of a 13".

The 14" HiHats capture the same sound as the existing 13" models but with extra volume and more breadth of sound.

Product Overview
Bringing together the famed brilliant finish and over-hammered bow on the interior of the cymbals and the traditional finish with traditional lathing on the outer bow, the Zildjian 14" K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hats are built for creating a signature sound. Translating Akira Jimbo's inventive design into a hi-hat format, the versatility found here allows for sounds from a bright, tight studio "chick" to a big, open wash within the space of playing a couple further down or up on the surface of the top hat. These hats also benefit from a volume boost thanks to the additional 1/4" on the traditional 14" layout.
