Rare REVERSIBLE LIMITED Zildjian K Custom HYBRID Hihats 14” 994 1112 g CLEAN! Akira Jimbo

The very rare 10th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED REVERSIBLE Zildjian K Custom HYBRID 14” Hihats.
One of only three “reversible” Hihat Series Zildjian ever produced.

Famously hard to find…

Zildjian describes these cymbals as:
“Developed in conjunction with Akira Jimbo, the Limited Edition 14” K Custom Hybrid Reversible HiHats feature a brilliant/traditional finish combination that produces a variety of tone colors depending on where the cymbals are played. This results in a musical “darkness with brilliance” sound combination. Unlike standard HiHats, the Reversible HiHats do not have a designated “top” or “bottom” cymbal, meaning each is interchangeable. This gives you greater variety of tonal possibilities with a single pair of HiHats.
On one cymbal, the inner half features an unlathed and brilliant finish, while the outer half is traditionally finished with K Zildjian style lathing. The unlathed section helps control the wash and sustain, making it ideal for situations where you need more blend in your HiHat sound.
On the other cymbal, the inner half has a traditional finish, while the outer half is unlathed with a brilliant finish. This cymbal also features the innovative “reverse Mastersound edge hammering” which eliminates airlock where areas between hammer marks strike the other cymbal - creating a softer Mastersound tone.”

I’m tingling all over!!

994 over 1112 grams, or convention BE DAMNED!! Vice versa! Extremely crisp and clean sounding - some of the cleanest, shimmering Ks you will encounter. Play like medium Thin to Mediums but still with that famous K Custom warmth. Very crisp and articulate.

One cymbal is Mastersound - ribbed for your pleasure.

Rare. Collectible. Playable. Loveable.
