21" Zildjian K Paper Thin Crash - Traditional

Product Description

The K Zildjian Paper Thin Crash is a thin 21" crash cymbal made from Zildjian's secret B20 bronze alloy. It delivers an explosive, dark response with clear overtones that decay quickly and smoothly. A perfect addition to the K series for players who want character and dynamics in their playing.

• Explosive, overtone-rich sound
• Dark, immediate response with quick decay
• Clear yet soft stick definition
• Hammered in three separate stages for tonal flexibility
• The thinnest crash model in the K series

Sound Character

The cymbal combines the properties of a thin cymbal with the character of larger models in the K Zildjian series. The result is a naturally overtone-rich register with solid low-frequency response. Played softly it sneaks up on you, but a heavier hit makes it explode with a trashy, aggressive edge. Either way, the cymbal opens up fully.

Construction

Zildjian's development team designed the series drawing inspiration from the extremely thin crash cymbals of the 1950s. The unique manufacturing process hammers the cymbal in three separate stages, giving it tonal nuance and flexibility that define the series. The alloy is Zildjian's secret B20 bronze and the finish is Traditional. K Zildjian Paper Thin Crash is also available in 18", 19", 20" and 22".

Who It's For

Suited for players who want a fast, dark, dynamic crash with plenty of character. The K series has long been a favorite among jazz drummers but works just as well for funk and rock, thanks to its wide dynamic range from whisper to explosion.
