Nick’s Notes
These are one of those hi-hat pairs that consistently overdeliver. Dark without being dull, crisp without being harsh. If you want expressive hats that record beautifully and still hold their own live, the K Custom Dark 14s are hard to beat. Being unplayed, this set gives you that broken-in K character without any prior wear.
Shipping & Assurance
Every cymbal is carefully inspected, packed with care in a custom-fitted box, and shipped fully insured to ensure it arrives exactly as described.
