Earthy, Dry Hi-Hat Character for Modern Grooves

The Zildjian K1409 14" K Custom Special Dry Hi-Hat Top brings a raw, earthy voice with a dry, funky attack and plenty of gritty character. Designed for today’s contemporary drumming styles, it gives a quick, fast attack, pronounced dirt, and a short, controlled decay – perfect for crisp, articulate patterns and textured grooves. Its natural/raw finish enhances its dusty, organic tone.
