VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: these cymbals have a great sound, with body and control, a smooth shimmer with a light tap, and an explosive attack with a nice short to medium roll off. I have the 16" & 17" compared them to Zildjian A customs & Sabian AA & AAX & HHX, the others were brighter with a different textured sound(hard to explain) the Sabians sounded brittle to me and prone to breakage according to some drummers I've talked to. However the Sabians were louder with less stick effort. I think they are better suited to Metal!! I play classic rock & blues the K Hybrids seem smooth & perfect for that crossover. I also pcked up a K Custom Dark crash(18") which complements the others beautifully along with a K Custom Hybrid ride(20"). The K series is pricey but you get what you pay for( a smooth classic sound). Feature: Hand-hammered, lathed & brilliant surfaces offer different tone & textures in your sound with nice bells for accents. Ease of Use: put it on a stand & hit it!! Quality: I've never had a Zildjian let me down!!! I've had a Paiste fail me once(that's enough) and I've seen Sabian fail for others but never owned any. Value: K series is pricey but I keep buying them Manufacturer Support: wouldn't know never needed them. that says it all The Wow Factor: hand hammered two tone finish looks pretty cool with stage lighting, but it's the sound your after. Looks are just a bonus. Overall: should last a lifetime I'm not a heavy hitter!!

Sound: the sound is really really nice a little thin sometimes but it is up against a 20 inch a custom which cuts through anything! the feel of it is really nice and it is the best cymbal l have ever bought it is durable and is great for the studio! live would be better for small gigs and it plays well with rock kits and jazz fusion. Feature: shiney Ease of Use: plug and play Quality: well made, no imperfections no problems, since its a thin cymbal it needs to be taken care of though Value: perfect for what its worth ALOT l haven't heard something that beats its clarity Manufacturer Support: ,,,,,,its a cymbal what can you do wrong other then playing it the wrong way The Wow Factor: very sexy Overall: TOTAL satisfied bit more ompf but cant complain it is a sweet cymbal

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
