Zildjian - a success story
The renowned cymbal company with the name Zildjian, which freely translated means "son of a cymbal smith", can already look back on almost 400 years of success. Driven by many ups and downs, the optimal quality and the incomparable sound of the Zildjian cymbals ensured a steady progress in the world of musical instruments.
After the leap across the pond in the 20th century, there was no stopping them and today the cymbals with the famous Zildjian branding have become indispensable.
Quality by hand
The K series, which already saw the light of day in the second half of the 19th century and set new standards with its unbelievable resonance behaviour and the at the time totally new and incredibly slim design with simultaneous longevity, is constantly being optimized by Zildjian, whereby only the composition of the metals, carefully guarded as a family secret, always remains the same.
The unique K-alloy as well as elaborate hammering and calibrating techniques by hand of the most skilled artists make the K Custom Zildjian cymbals very versatile instruments. Depending on the style of playing, a very wide spectrum of low and high frequencies is available, from mild to intense.
