Unique production method
With the thinnest hammering in the entire K series and an innovative three-stage hammering process, this crash has unique sound characteristics. It delivers an explosive, dark crash sound with a fast decay. This is complemented by the extremely thin profile, which adds shimmer when struck and creates a low-frequency resonance that is unrivaled in the K Series.
Advanced research for first-class sound
Thanks to the advanced work of the Zildjian research and development team, this cymbal perfectly complements the iconic K family. It combines the popular features of the Paper Thin series with the characteristic features of larger cymbal sizes.
