I get a lot of questions about Zildjian cymbals. But in the past year, I have gotten a TON of questions about the Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Cymbal line. The "dry" sound has become quite popular in the past couple of years. Zildjian was actually the company to produce the first dry cymbal (The Earth Ride) back in the 70's.

I'll have to admit, I was REALLY looking forward to checking out this particular lineup of cymbals, especially the hats. I've kept an older version of the 21" K Custom Special Dry Ride on my kit for a while now. This new lineup of the K Custom Special Dry cymbals is more responsive, less clangy, and drier.

I wanted to simply give a good overview of the entire line of cymbals to answer any questions you all may have. Cymbals are an EXTREMELY personal thing. As always, I would advise you to listen to as many as possible online and in person before making a decision. This dry line is a very specific sound and they don't translate well in ALL live situations. They open and close very quickly, which is great for some situations but not for all. Dryer cymbals tend to not cut through the other instruments as well in a live pop or rock situation. That being said, I love them for a lot of reasons. I hope this video helps you learn a bit more about them.

Leave a comment below and let me know which cymbal is your favorite out of this lineup!
