K CUSTOM SERIES Zildjian calls their K Custom Series "the Modern Jazz Voice," and we totally agree. The Zildjian Sound Lab went into innovation overdrive on these puppies. Whether it’s the warm, shimmering tones of a ride cymbal or the complex sizzle of a pair of hi-hats, these cymbals create a uniquely beautiful sound and enable drummers to vary their K sounds to meet the demands of contemporary music.see range	K CUSTOM HYBRID SERIES The new K Custom Hybrid models combine the unlathed, brilliant finish of the K Custom Ride on the inner half with the traditionally finished K Zildjian lathing on the outer half of the cymbal. This results in the possibility of two different sound dynamics depending where the cymbal is played. Additionally, the unlathed section helps to control the wash and sustain, rendering them ideal for recording and live situations. The 20-inch Ride combines the defined stick attack and strong bell sound of the K Custom Ride with the crash-ability and increased spread of a thinner, lathed cymbal. The 17 and 19-inch Crashes, 9 and 11-inch Splashes and 19-inch China feature a thinner design, but project like heavier cymbals due to the unlathed bell. see range ......	ORIENTAL SERIES. Authentic "trashy" Chinese sounding cymbals that are very fast and explosive with a rapid decay.These exotic sound colors help you define your signature sound and add character and variety to your kit.

SPECIAL EFFECT CYMBALS This series include the following types: * China cymbals are the most popular of all Special Effects cymbals. It is used for unique, explosive accents. It is often mounted in an inverted position, which creates a faster response and more explosive sound than when mounted normally. * Splash: (Also called “Choke” cymbals) Small cymbals 6 to 12 inches in diameter and usually thin in weight. They are used for fast crash work and can be choked off very quickly. * Crash Ride: These are medium-thin cymbals, available in sizes 18 and 20 inches in diameter. They are suitable for both crash work as well as sustained ride cymbal playing. * Flat Ride cymbals have no bell and generate a clean and precise ride articulation with a shimmering yet defined sound. They are best utilized in a jazz setting, when a clear sound is desired. (i.e. piano trios, vocalists, jazz guitar, etc.) * Sizzle: 18 to 22 inches in diameter, in which holes are drilled and rivets are installed to give a sizzling or buzzing type of cymbal sound. * Swish: Usually 18 to 22 inches in diameter, with an almost inverted profile. Swish cymbals normally have rivets installed to give a Chinese tonal effect and are especially useful in playing Big Band arrangements.
