The 20" K Custom Hybrid Ride Is A Dual-finish Ride Cymbal Providing A Rare Combination Of Crashability And Articulation. The K Custom Hybrid Series Is Another Innovative And Musical Line Developed In Conjunction With Renowned Drummer Akira Jimbo. The Hybrids Combine An Unlathed, Brilliant Finish On The Inner Half With The Traditionally Finished K Zildjian Lathing On The Outer Half Of The Cymbal. This Results In The Possibility Of 2 Different Sound Dynamics Depending Where The Cymbal Is Played. Additionally, The Unlathed Section Helps To Control The Wash And Sustain, Rendering Them Ideal For Recording And Live Situations. Akira Said, "Maximum Versatility Is The Main Idea With The Hybrid Series. I Worked With Zildjian To Design A Line Of Cymbals Where Brilliance And Darkness Co-exist. I Think The Sound We Came Up With Sets The New Standard For The 21st Century."
