20” Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride [2025] 2150g

A beautifully responsive K Custom Dark Ride from 2025, combining the warmth, depth and complexity of the legendary K sound with excellent stick definition and a rich, musical wash.

At approximately 2150g, this is a relatively lightweight example of Zildjian’s popular 20” K Custom Dark Ride. Its extensive hammering and fine lathing create a dark, smoky voice with controlled overtones and an exceptionally expressive feel.

Clear, woody stick articulation floats above a warm, complex wash, while the focused bell provides plenty of musical definition. Push it harder and the bow opens up into a rich, dark crash.
