Zildjian - K Symphonic 17" (la paire)

The Zildjian K Symphonic 17" Pair takes up the spirit of the series with a slightly more compact format, which subtly changes the playing feel and sound response. Developed with Marc Damoulakis, they fall somewhere between the depth of the K Constantinople and the clarity of more traditional orchestral models.

With their 17-inch diameter and heavy thickness, these cymbals respond quickly, with a clean, controlled attack. The mid-range remains very present, which helps to maintain good readability in the orchestra without needing to strain. The sustain is balanced, long enough to support a passage without overwhelming the rest of the ensemble.

This format is useful in situations where precision of gesture is required, particularly in fast passages or fine nuances. They maintain a stable sound colour, whether in pianissimo or in more marked accents.

The traditional finish and hammering contribute to this coherent sound, with a regular response under the hands. As with the rest of the series, the straps are not included, leaving the choice up to the musician's preferences.
