Fundamentally dark sound. Captivating musicality. The 14'' K Custom Dark hi-hats sound beautifully articulate at all levels, from the crisp accents on the side to the clear stick definition on the body. Although dark, there is a bright musical resonance to these cymbals, especially when playing around the bell area. Glassy and thin sounding when closed, the 14'' Dark K Custom hi-hats open up with a more narrow-pitched wash sound than typical hi-hats. Ideal for jazz, funk, R n' B and more, their versatility makes them one of the most popular choices in the Zildjian K Custom series.
