Zildjian K1217 17" K Custom Hybrid Crash
Hybrid Tone with Extra Depth and Warmth
The Zildjian K1217 offers everything drummers love about the Hybrid series – dark warmth blended with brilliant clarity – but with a larger 17" diameter for added fullness. Designed with renowned Japanese drummer Akira Jimbo, this thin crash combines a brilliant-finished inner section with a traditionally lathed outer ring, creating an expressive cymbal that responds quickly yet retains musical richness.
Power, Projection & Control
The unlathed bell enhances projection, giving you the cut typically associated with heavier cymbals while maintaining the softer wash of a thin crash. This makes the K1217 a superb all‑rounder for live gigs, studio sessions and modern multi‑genre setups where versatility is key.
