Lighter, Darker Hats from the K Series
The Zildjian K Light Hi-hats let you tap into the expressive K series sound, with a lighter, darker character than traditional hats. Originally developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th-century Turkey, the deep, dry, and shimmering sound of K series cymbals has been a mainstay of jazz drumming, finding favor among such legendary drummers as Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, and Tony Williams. Thanks to its medium-thin top/medium bottom configuration, you can count on your K Light Hi-hat pair to deliver a solid "chick" sound, a dark tone, and a fast decay.

Cast bronze cymbals provide premium tone and projection
Made from a secret alloy (comprised of copper, tin, and traces of silver), this K Light Hi-hat pair was individually cast and shaped via a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing. These painstaking techniques and traditional methods give each K Light Hi-hat pair its unique tone and broad range of expression. Cast bronze cymbals, such as these K Light Hi-hats, present you with a rich, full-bodied sound that only improves with age. They also provide exceptional projection, clarity, and durability that far outstrips most other cymbals.
