Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Like New Beats, the K Custom Dark hi-hats have a thinner top cymbal matched with a heavier bottom cymbal. It's not as big a difference as the K/Z combination, which produces a very sharp "chick" sound (when played with the hi-hat pedal) due to the extreme heaviness of the Z bottom. The K Custom Dark hi-hats have a slightly softer, fatter "chick" sound, enhanced by the lower, darker pitch. As with the ride, these hats will blend more than cut.
Played with a stick they have plenty of body when closed, and plenty of dark overtones for gutsy, funky "barks" when opened. They sounded downright rude (in a good sense) when played just slightly open in the position many describe as "sloshy."
