A china that carries
Zildjian applies the principle of the other K Custom Hybrids to this china: a bell left raw, which makes it project like a heavier cymbal. The accent cuts through a loud band without your having to hit it harder.
Dark and bright
Its hybrid finish, polished in the centre and traditional around the outside, gives it the range's two-tone colour. It keeps a dark core that fits naturally into a setup of K cymbals.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a china cymbal used for?
- To give a cutting, exotic accent, different from a crash. It is used to mark the end of a phrase or to play rough patterns over a chorus.
- China or crash?
- A crash opens into a full, fairly smooth breath. A china, with its upturned edge, sounds drier, more aggressive and more exotic. It is added alongside a crash, rarely instead of one.
- Are china cymbals loud?
- Often, yes: it is a cymbal made to cut through. This one carries all the more because Zildjian gives it an unlathed bell, which makes it project like a heavier cymbal.
