About K

The legendary Zildjian K cymbals were originally hand-made in Turkey, now handcrafted in the U.S. for authentic K sound. A mellow, deep, shimmering, dry, dark sound originally sought after by jazz musicians. The K cymbals blend high and low frequencies that extend over a broad range. These versatile cymbals can be extremely intense or very mellow depending upon how they are played. Distinctive and complex tonal colors long associated with the most innovative drummers in music. Every Unique cymbal is individually cast and rolled from the secret Zildjian alloy, creating instruments that each have a distict voice and character.
