18" Trash China from Zildjian
The Zildjian K-Custom Special Dry China 18" is a professional china cymbal from the renowned K-Custom series. Handmade in the USA from Zildjian's top secret B20 bronze alloy. As part of the revised Special Dry K-Customs optimized for modern demands, this cymbal comes with a thin cymbal profile and a special natural finish. The raw surface of the cymbal is sparingly lathed once, the bell is furthermore left completely untreated. Together with the precisely placed holes, the Special Dry China thus develops an extra-dry sound with a fast response and a short sustain. Ideal as an effects cymbal or for short, complex accents.
Handcrafted quality
The K series, which already saw the light of day in the second half of the 19th century and set new standards with its incredible resonance behavior and the unbelievably thin construction at the same time as durability, is subjected to constant optimization by Zildjian, whereby only the composition of the metals, carefully guarded as a family secret, always remains the same. The unique K-alloy and elaborate hammering and lathing techniques by hand of the most skilled artists make the K Custom Zildjian Cymbals very versatile instruments. Depending on how you play, a very wide spectrum of low and high frequencies opens up, from mild to intense.
