Zildjian - K-Series Sweet 14" Bottom

The Zildjian K-Series Sweet 14" Bottom completes an approach to the hi-hat where the sound is not just precise, but lively and textured. In keeping with the logic of the K Sweet series, this bottom provides a much denser, deeper base that completely transforms the sensation of playing underfoot.

With its heavy weight and B20 alloy, it gives an immediate impression of stability. The 'chick' is solid and well anchored, with a fast response that never feels dry. There's a real, almost carnal feel to the sound, giving body to every hi-hat sound. The hammering work and non-lathed zones of the Sweet range contribute to this darker, more organic colour, far from a sound that's too bright or too rigid.

When playing, this bottom end changes the way the groove is constructed. It gives you a wider, more expressive hi-hat, with a real presence at the bottom end of the spectrum. In modern jazz, neo-soul or contemporary production, it adds a depth that helps to establish a more breathable rhythm. Even in rock or pop, it adds weight without hardening the overall sound.
