Zildjian 18" K Custom Special Dry Crash

Product Description

The Zildjian K Custom Special Dry is an 18" crash cymbal from the K Custom family, made in an extra thin weight for a fast attack and a trashy, dry sound. It's a great fit if you want a dark, dirty crash tone with a quick but satisfying decay.

The K Custom series is built on the same principles as the original K series, but with a process refined to push the dry character even further. The Special Dry models take that a step further with a distinctly trashy, dark sound.

Construction and Sound

Made from Zildjian's secret 80/20 bronze alloy, the cymbal goes through an innovative three-step hammering process. The bottom is fully lathed while the top has a raw, natural finish, contributing to the raw, trashy sound character. The bell is integrated into the overall sound rather than standing out on its own.

The weight ranges from extra thin to thin, giving a fast attack that shuts down relatively quickly, but with just enough sustain to feel full without dragging on.

Who It's For

The K Custom Special Dry Crash suits drummers and percussionists who want a distinctly trashy, dry crash sound for modern styles, in both studio and live settings.
