The new 17" China matches perfectly to any existing K Zildjian or K Custom China models. The Zildjian 17" K Custom Hybrid China walks the line between dark and brilliant, packing a ton of utility into a unique format. Sweetwater drummers just love this inspired creation of jazz-fusion drummer Akira Jimbo, because you can add it to any kit and instantly expand the range of rhythmic texture you can generate. Despite its thin weight, the K Custom Hybrid China's unlathed bell enables it to project like a heavier cymbal, delivering an explosive dark/mid sound with short sustain and excellent projection. It's eye-catching, too, with a traditional finish on the outer half and a brilliant finish inside.
