Nick’s Notes
These K Custom Special Dry Hi Hats stand out visually and sonically — a true modern classic. They deliver that signature dirty shimmer with incredible precision and control. The photos show the stunning hand-hammering and raw finish that make this series so recognizable.
Unplayed and collector-grade, these are as close to new as you can get without touching a stick to bronze.
Shipping Assurance
Every cymbal is carefully inspected, packed with care in a custom-fitted box, and shipped fully insured to ensure it arrives safely and exactly as described.
STR = Style, Tonality & Response — Nick’s Drum Gear’s exclusive system to help players match cymbals to real-world playing applications.
Note on Handcrafted K-Series Cymbals
Zildjian K-series cymbals are individually hand-hammered and tonally shaped at the factory. Natural hammer marks, tonal shaping impressions, finish variation, and minor handling marks are normal characteristics of the series and are not considered defects.
