Zildjian 22" K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal at a Glance:


Great performance, classic sound


Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection


Great performance, classic sound





If you want a sound that's always in style, then choose Zildjian K Custom cymbals. The innovative cymbal work of Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, or any one of a sweeping collection of the greatest drummers in history has benefited from the sound and performance of K cymbals.





Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection





Zildjian K Custom series cymbals, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.
