Zildjian is celebrating its 400th anniversary in myriad ways, including the grand introduction of these new Zildjian K Paper Thin crash cymbals. They’re the thinnest crashes in the entire K family and the largest paper thin cymbals in Zildjian’s entire history! Featuring a 3-step hammering process, these K Paper Thin cymbals have a dark and explosive crash with a quick decay. The K Paper Thin crashes’ larger sizes also give them lower pitches and overtones, great for soft cymbal rolls that underscore dramatic sections of music. Finally, their stick feel is silky smooth, making K Paper Thin crashes a joy to play at any dynamic level.

Zildjian’s K Paper Thin Crashes merge tradition and innovation, drawing on their 400-year treasured history and meeting the needs of today’s leading drummers. Zildjian has been offering their 'Paper Thin' crashes since the 1950’s. With a buttery smooth feel under-stick, the crashes open up with a dark crash and a quick decay that is becoming highly sought after by modern drummers.
