Zildjian K-Custom Darkbox Set B-Stock

The cymbals of the K-Custom Darkbox cymbal set all have a pleasant playing feel and a warm sound character. The versatile, comparatively heavy K-Custom Dark hi-hat offers a bright "chick" sound that will easily cut through the mix, and a clearly defined stick sound. The Dark crashes sound full-bodied, and players will certainly appreciate their quick response as well as their short sustain. Despite their hefty weight, the two crash cymbals behave like thin crashes thanks to the special hammering used in their production, but offer a lot more volume. The Dark ride in turn makes a convincing case with its dark undertones, which are combined with a soft, defined stick sound and good crash qualities.

The Avedis Zildjian company is one of the world's oldest manufacturers of musical instruments. In addition to cymbals and gongs, the Zildjian range also includes drumsticks, percussion mallets, and accessories. The company's history dates back to 1618, when an Armenian, Avedis Zildjian, made his first cymbals from tin, copper, and silver near Constantinople. In the early 20th century, the company moved its headquarters to the United States, where a short time later the era of big bands and Swing music began. Zildjian worked closely with the most famous drummers of that era and over the decades earned an excellent reputation among Jazz drummers. Since Ringo Starr led the way more recently, Zildjian cymbals have also become increasingly popular among Rock drummers, and today the range includes cymbals for every conceivable genre, ranging from affordable entry-level cymbals to handmade models of the very highest quality.
