The Sound Spanning Generations is the Sound of The Zildjian K Cymbals

K Zildjian cymbals are known for their dark, warm sounds that harken back to the original K cymbals developed by Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey. Instantly recognizable by their "vented K" logo, K cymbals capture the aura of the original K's but with far greater consistency, making them the choice of drummers from genres as diverse as Jazz, Country, and Rock.

This 17" Zildjian K Sweet crash cymbal delivers a new twist on the classic K family crash cymbal line. These extra thin cymbals are amazingly musical, with a dark complex tone that is shimmering and orchestral. Zildjian K Sweet Crashes feature an unlathed bell and traditional, random K style hammering that add to a darker sound with fast attack and great response at all dynamic ranges. The 17" size is a perfect compromise if you can't decide on the 16" or 18". We carry a huge inventory of Zildjians at the Drum Center of Portsmouth.
