Zildjian K Custom Dark Hi Hat Cymbals 13"

Zildjian K Custom Dark Hi-Hat Cymbals – Warm, Full-Bodied Tone with Cutting Clarity

The Zildjian K Custom Dark 13" Hi-Hat Cymbals deliver a sophisticated sound profile designed for drummers seeking warmth and definition. These professional-grade cymbals combine traditional craftsmanship with Zildjian's signature K-series alloy to produce full-bodied tones that cut through any mix. The dark character and rich sustain make them ideal for jazz, fusion, studio work, and musical styles where nuanced cymbal articulation matters.

Built with K and A style hammering that raises the cymbal profile for enhanced stick response, these hi-hats produce a crisp, bright "chick" with minimal wash. The fine pattern of narrow symmetrical grooves stiffens the cymbal construction and amplifies the dry, articulate sound. Overhammering adds subtle trashy overtones that prevent the cymbals from sounding overly dark or muddy, ensuring they remain musically expressive.
