13” Zildjian K Custom Hi-Hat Bottom [1987/88]

An increasingly hard-to-find 13” K Custom Hi-Hat Bottom from the original first-generation K Custom series. Produced during the Dave Weckl era, this heavy bottom cymbal delivers a crisp, articulate chick and pairs exceptionally well with many vintage and modern 13” hi-hat tops.

This example features the distinctive large K logo and original Custom Bottom Hi-Hat ink. The edge has factory Sound Edge style cut-outs, creating a faster air release and a clean, powerful foot response.

• Size: 13”

• Era: [1987–1988] First Run
• Weight: 1350g
