ZILDJIAN EXTENDS K FAMILY
CYMBALS WITH NEW SIZES
AND TONAL COLORS
The Avedis Zildjian Company is pleased to announce
the extension of the iconic K family of cymbals, with the
introduction of the new K Cluster Crashes and the addition of
the new 14” K Sweet Hi Hats. These new additions complement
the more traditional K family cymbals and offer a broader
range in dark, alternative sounds.
The new K Cluster Crashes venture into new sound colors
that are dark, funky, and trashy, filling the drummer’s need
for alternative sounds. The K Cluster Crashes feature the
traditional K style hammering technique with additional
“cluster” hammer marks. They are extra thin in weight
and include an unlathed bell for greater tonal spread and
additional sound frequencies. These cymbals are available
in 16”, 18” and 20” models. ”The K Cluster crashes are that
alternative sound that drummers are looking for, something
different than the norm. These Cluster crashes cymbals
respond quickly and have a raw, trashy sound that’s perfect
for drummers who want to be little different,” says Victor
Filonovich, Cymbals Category Manager for Zildjian.
these great additions to our legendary K Family. The New 14”
Sweet Hi Hats add another level of excitement to our award
winning K Sweet Collection, with its versatility and sound
these Hi Hats will blend perfectly with all genres of music,”
says Filonovich.
