ARTICLE N° 121879
The Zildjian K Custom Dark 14" Bottom completes a hi-hat designed to go beyond the simple rhythmic base. In keeping with the K Custom series, this cymbal retains a very organic approach to sound, with Zildjian's own blend of tradition and modernity. Here we have a part that directly influences the overall response of the hi-hat, playing on the depth and definition of the 'chick'.

When combined with an appropriate top, it provides more precise control of the opening, with a denser feel underfoot. The sound remains warm and full, but with more articulation, which helps to maintain legibility even in busy situations. The closed action remains crisp, with a clean attack, without losing the dark, textured feel typical of the K Custom Dark range.

In playing situations, this bottom end is ideal for styles where nuance counts as much as power: modern jazz, funk, polished pop or fusion. It's easy to adjust the hi-hat response, whether you're playing tightly or more openly.
