Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Cymbal Set
£1,099.00
The original dry cymbals. The darkest, most decadent sounds. Zildjian’s K Custom Special Dry cymbals all fall at the darkest end of the spectrum. That means there are few overtones and little wash, leading to a much more focused sound and crystal-clear stick definition. Many cymbals produce too much noise and excess washiness that can drown out other instrumentation, and that isn’t for everyone. With the K Custom Dry cymbals, your killer chops and accents will be heard in all of their nuanced detail, while retaining dynamic musicality within the band.
Included in this pack are all the cymbals you need for bone-dry articulation around the kit. That’s a 14” pair of hi-hats, 21” ride, and a 16” and 18” crash – and you make a big saving by purchasing the pack over the individual cymbals.

Overview
The latest addition to the K Custom series, remastering the renowned cymbals to suit the modern player. Each cymbal features Zildjian’s innovative three-step hammering process, creating a distinctive shape and an extra thin weight. This provides the cymbals with a fast attack that shuts down rapidly for quick grooves and ostinatos.
Each cymbal is finished off with a fully lathed bottom and a raw natural top, creating a dark, dirty appearance that’s unique to each cymbal and adds a personal touch to each drum kit. If your style is jazzy, bone-dry funk, with skillful nuanced groove, the K Custom Special Dry set would likely shine with you at the throne!
14” Special Dry Hi-Hats
The dynamics are expressive. Stick definition is crystal-clear on the body. When striking the edge for accents, they open up with a fierce bite. The ‘chick’ sound is crisp and distinct – it doesn’t get buried in the mix, it defines the groove.
21” Special Dry Ride
The Special Dry 21” ride cymbal features a super short sustain even when crashing. When riding, the wash is quick and low, but still present, leaving you with a crisp and focused stick sound with every stroke. This is perfect for fat, funky grooves and breakbeats that require defined strokes during quick passages. But, it does still have a nice, dark shimmering wash for jazz grooves. The bell is integrated which improves the responsiveness of the cymbal.
Special Dry Crash Cymbals
Quick, fierce attack. Rapid decay. Those are the fundamental features of these crash cymbals. Immediately responsive, they start with a crisp cut and end with a dark shimmer. Because of the dryness, you get a clear stick definition on the body, which is great for some light riding too.
