Zildjian - K Family 13" Top

The Zildjian K Family 13" Top is aimed at drummers who love Hi-Hats with character and real presence under the baton. From the very first stroke, this cymbal develops a deep, compact chick sound, with the dark colouring typical of the K series. The 13-inch diameter gives a faster response than a larger Hi-Hat, so the cymbal can be played with precision and vigour without losing any of its musicality.

In a jazz, fusion or neo-soul context, it retains great definition even on light nuances. In alternative rock or indie, its dark grain helps to avoid over-aggressive highs, while still allowing important attacks to come through. The touch remains supple and natural, with a very expressive feel both under the foot and on the stick.

Made from B20 bronze with a traditional finish, this cymbal retains the complex sound texture that has built the Zildjian K's reputation. The low, rich, lively register has been appreciated for decades by drummers looking for a more organic, less shiny sound than a classic modern Hi-Hat.
