21” Zildjian K Custom Dark Complex Ride [2012] Sizzle 2450g

A genuine 21” Zildjian K Custom Dark Complex Ride, featuring beautifully irregular hammering, a distinctive raw appearance and that wonderfully dark, complex character that makes these cymbals so desirable.

And this particular example has an extra twist: three sizzle rivets, adding a beautiful shimmering texture to an already exceptionally interesting ride.

At 2450g, this 21” has plenty of substance without losing the dark, expressive character that makes the Dark Complex series so special.

These aren’t your everyday K Customs. They’re individual, unpredictable and full of personality, with a remarkable balance between definition, darkness and musical complexity.

Add those three rivets and you’ve got a beautifully atmospheric jazz ride with an extra layer of vintage-inspired shimmer.

A rare bird. And very much a DropShop kind of cymbal.
