Zildjian KCH390 – K Custom Hybrid Pack (14¼" Hi‑Hats, 17" Crash, 21" Ride)
A Modern Hybrid Voice with Bright-Dark Versatility
The Zildjian KCH390 K Custom Hybrid Pack brings together three of the most expressive and versatile cymbals in the K Custom lineup. Developed in partnership with world‑renowned drummer Akira Jimbo, these cymbals combine a brilliant‑finished, unlathed inner section with a traditionally lathed outer ring – creating a unique balance of dark, warm tonality and crisp brightness. The result is a set that blends beautifully across genres, offering exceptional stick definition, expressive crashability, and refined dynamic control.
This pack includes the distinctive 14¼" Hybrid Hi‑Hats, the highly responsive 17" Hybrid Crash, and the versatile 21" Hybrid Ride, giving drummers a complete high‑end setup with a modern K Custom identity.
Sound & Performance
The KCH390 pack delivers:
- Hi‑Hats (14¼") – Crisp and articulate with a defined "chick", thanks to hybrid hammering and enhanced contact points between the cymbals. Bright, cutting attack blended with dark K warmth.
- 17" Crash – Sweet, cutting crash response with fast activation and a warm, blended decay. Ideal for accents that project while retaining musicality.
- 21" Ride – Clear stick definition from the brilliant inner section paired with a rich, wash‑friendly outer ring. Strong bell projection with plenty of dynamic flexibility.
Together, these cymbals offer a powerful yet controlled sonic palette that excels in fusion, pop, worship, rock, jazz‑fusion, and modern hybrid setups.
