Zildjian K1419 K Custom Special Dry Crash cymbal is chock-full of raw, earthy sounds. Infuse your drumming with dirty, funky overtones. This responsive crash is extra thin to thin in weight, and with a fast attack and decay. K Customs, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from Zildjian's secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.
