The Definitive Sound of Modern Darkness and Precision.
Command the stage with a pair of hi-hats that delivers unparalleled stick definition, a uniquely dark character, and a strikingly fast, tight chick sound. The Zildjian K Custom 14" Dark Hi-Hats are the ultimate choice for the contemporary drummer who requires cutting articulation without excessive brightness or wash.
Forged from our secret-formula K Zildjian alloy and meticulously hand-hammered, these hi-hats inherit the legendary, complex musicality of the K line and refine it for modern applications. The unique "Unlathed Bottom" design—a brilliant innovation—features a fully lathed top cymbal for focused stick response and a raw, dark bottom cymbal that produces an exceptionally dry and crisp foot chick.
Sound Characteristics:
Voice: Dark, complex, and incredibly controlled with a lower fundamental pitch and reduced overtone series.
Foot Chick: Ultra-crisp, dry, and articulate—engineered to cut through dense mixes with pinpoint accuracy.
Stick Definition: Supreme clarity and separation for intricate patterns, perfect for complex funk, hip-hop, and fusion grooves.
Response: Tight and quick, with a fast decay that keeps your timekeeping precise and uncluttered. The slightly heavier weight provides a solid, authoritative feel under sticks.
