This added weight will be particularly attractive to players that are looking for more stick definition and are playing in higher volume situations. The 20˝ Medium Kerope now features a range of 2,126 - 2,381 grams, and the 22˝ Medium Kerope has a range of 2,523 - 2,721 grams. 21˝ K CUSTOM ORGANIC RIDE Zildjian is proud to introduce a versatile cymbal to the K Custom lineup: the 21˝ Organic Ride. Its wire- brushed finish on top gives it clean, articulate stick definition. The buffed unlathed bottom allows the cymbal to open up, giving it plenty of crashability without washing out. 20˝ K CONSTANTINOPLE RENAISSANCE RIDE Zildjian has teamed up with renowned jazz drummer Adam Nussbaum to create the 20˝ K Constantinople Renaissance Ride - a complement to the 22˝version, but with some unique qualities. The 20˝ Renaissance Ride offers a smaller, over-hammered bell, for a sound that´s more contained, more integrated with the overall cymbal, and less chimey. A thin, versatile, ˝crash weight˝ (between 1,786-1,871 grams) provides clean stick definition and offers drummers the added flexibility of alternating between ride patterns and crashing without overwhelming the stick. 8˝ & 10˝ FX ORIENTAL CHINA TRASH - Compatible with other cymbals or can be used on their own - Quick attack and decay - Made from Zildjian B20 alloy - Weight: Thin 7.5˝ FX ZIL-BEL, VOLCANO CUP - New mid-tone option - Crafted from Zildjian B20 alloy - Cutting sound - Features an inverted bell that offers a unique set of tonal colors 10˝ & 12˝ FX SPIRAL STACKERS - Stack on top of any cymbal to create unique and trashy sounds - Inexpensive way for drummers to get into stacking - For drummers who like to create their own unique sounds and colors - Quick attack and decay - Visual ˝dancing˝ effect when played 5 ™ THE LEGENDARY DARK SOUND Zildjian cymbals are known for their dark, warm sound that harkens back to the original K cymbals developed by Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey.
