    L'un des hats les plus sombres polyvalent!

    Zildjian K Custom Dark HiHats 14"Publié le 14/07/14 à 06:45

    I have a fondness for darker-sounding cymbals, and the models from Zildjian’s K Custom line are among my favorites. I have owned and played various models from this series, and these are some of the most ear-pleasing cymbals I’ve ever heard. It’s also amazing that they are beautifully handcrafted and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

    I have a pair 14” K Custom Dark Hats, which I own and have been playing for over a decade already. I’ve read somewhere that this is said to be the dark version of Zildjian’s classic bestselling A New Beat Hats. And I definitely agree with this. The K Custom Dark Hats has that versatile, full-bodied tone similar to the New Beats, but with a darker voice quality that blends in with the music instead of cutting through.

    I’ve played in an R&B / hip-hop band for almost a decade, and I’ve done several pop, rock, and jazz sessions. I’m also currently in a progressive rock band. With the different styles I play, the K Custom Dark Hats can easily fit in. Its dark chick sound is perfect for groove-oriented styles like R&B and hip-hop. Its barking, half-open sound can complement pop and rock styles. And of course, these hats are a natural fit in jazz-oriented styles. I've tried and played similar dark models from different brands, and for me the K Custom Dark Hats is one of the most versatile hats that I’ve ever played. And they sound very good in the studio too, as I’ve proven in a number of R&B, pop and rock recording sessions.

    I like how its dark sound doesn’t overpower the music. Like I said, I like how the sound blends in instead of cutting through, which is my personal preference. So if you want some extra cut and power in your hats, I suggest that you get the New Beats or any other similar-sounding model. Playing it with the hi-hat pedal, I also suggest that you put some angle to the bottom cymbal in order to achieve a more solid chick sound.

    Just like most K and K Custom Zildjians, my K Custom Dark Hats are also aging gracefully like fine wine. With the logo of my top hat cymbal fading in time, the sound tends to smoothen as it gets older. I also appreciate how durable it is, considering how the medium-thin-weight top and the medium-weight bottom cymbals are holding up. With proper care and playing, these hats can last for a lifetime.

    I highly recommend the K Custom Dark Hats to drummers who prefer a dark, solid, versatile hi-hat sound that blends in with the music. It’s a beautiful-looking and even more beautiful-sounding pair of hats. The K Custom Dark Hats may not be affordable, but these high-end hats are worth the investment.

    I've played a ton of cymbals over many years especially a lot of hi hat pairs. These are the best ones I've played hands down. It's hard to explain how great these hi hats are without just being able to show you. I have used them for a lot of R&B, Hip Hop and Jazz and they pretty much own any other set of hi hats I have used in those departments. That said, they are extremely versatile and can still do rock and metal really well. Very nice chick sound, even with the hi hats as tight as I can have them. I do a lot of hi hat work when playing jazz and hip hop and these hats are insanely dynamic. From the edges, to the bell you can find some nice sounds for different applications. Just slightly open they have a very distinct washy sound that I haven't been able to find with another pair of hats. You can achieve some really great dynamics doing a lot of open-close stuff. They are just really pleasing to the ear. Zildjian K cymbals of all kinds are really costly, but I really think they are worth it. The craftsmanship I see in these are beautiful, and like I've said before they have a distinct sound I haven't been able to emulate using any other hats. I had only borrowed these hi hats for a while, but I really plan to buy some when I can afford it. They are just that great. It's hard to go into greater detail with how the hi hats sound, but if you're looking for remarkable sounding hats that are not clunky and can cut through in a mix really well, I would definitely recommend having a look at these. They are my personal favourite and I think they will remain my favourite for some time to come.

    J'utilise ce charley depuis a peine 3 semaines. J'ai joué pendant 10 ans sur un K de 13" et je sais que ce genre de charley ne livre ses mystères qu'aprés un peut de temps. Mais peut être que de jouer sur un K m'a permis d'appréhender rapidement toutes les sonorités de ces cymbales.
    Le son est trés trés typé et peut en rebuter pas mal au premier coup de baguettes. En effet, comme son nom l'indique la sonorité est trés mat et trés trés "sombre". Les ouvertures de charley sont bien grasses mais pas trés "brillantes". Comme sur toutes les K, la déffinition des coups et la projection est excellente et c'est un bonheur d'enchainner les triples croches dessus.

    Mon précédent charley était un Bosphorus Masters series et j'ai du changer ce dernier car il était trop typé Jazz et pas trés puissant pour mon style de jeux (Rock/Fusion/Funk). Il était aussi beaucoup plus chaleureux que le K mais un peut plus "brouillon" dans la définition des coups.
    Le K Custom est vraiment idéale pour mon style de jeux mais je ne le recomanderais pas pour du Jazz par exemple car pas assez chaleureux.

    Quand au rapport qualité/prix, je le trouve trés cher surtout comparé à des Istambul/Bosphorus qui font des charley excellent pour beaucoup moins cher. Maintenant comme je l'ai eu pour pas trop cher je peut dire que je referais certainement le mêmes choix.
