Zildjian 19" K Custom Dark Crash Cymbal at a Glance:
  • Great performance, classic sound
  • Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection
Great performance, classic sound

If you want a sound that's always in style, choose K Zildjian cymbals. The innovative cymbal work of Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams or any one of a sweeping collection of the greatest drummers in history has benefited from the sound and performance of K Zildjian cymbals.

Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection

K Custom series cymbals, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.

Ordered the wrong one and made the right choice by accident!

I initially wanted to order the regular k dark and put the wrong one in the cart to order. Sometimes these things happen for a great reason. This is now my favorite cymbal. Perfect amount of crash with a background of that has a pretty quick decay for something this size. The bell accents are articulate and cut through. It's awesome.

Always My First Choice

I've been purchasing drum gear from Sweetwater for several years now and have always been satisfied. Greg Titzer is my sales representative and is pleasant professional and always follows up with my order. The shipping is always prompt and packaged with care. There is nothing worse than receiving damaged gear. They're selection is amazing and pricing always in line with competitors. Sweetwater#1

Cymbal Magic

I ordered one of these last year. Purchasing cymbals online is always daunting but unfortunately there are no drum shops in our city anymore where you can try out multiple cymbals of the same make and size. The 19" Zildjian K Custom crash I received is definitely a rare gem. It is definitely the best "big" crash cymbal I have ever played. I approach it with the respect one might give a special musical instrument. It has a magical tone to it that is just out of this world. Very dynamic, can be played from a whisper to a roar and it does get quite loud if you want it too. I would have no problem using this on a hard rock/metal gig, knowing it will cut very well and have such an amazing tone while doing it. It's just that good. Get one.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
