ZILDJIAN K SWEET COLLECTION The Avedis Zildjian Company is pleased to introduce the new K Zildjian Sweet Collection at the 2018 Winter NAMM Show. This extension of the legendary K Family has been crafted to meet the versatile demands of today’s popular music with a new direction of tonal colors that are dark, sweet and responsive. “With the continued success of our A Sweet Rides, we wanted to create a new collection of extremely versatile cymbals within our K Family that are larger in size and thinner that delivers a darker and warmer tonality with more sound frequency,” says Victor Filonovich, Cymbals Category Manager for Zildjian. The K Sweet Collection compromises 9 models including 16” – 20” Crashes, two larger sized Rides (21” & 23”) and larger- sized HiHats (15” & 16”). The Crashes and HiHats feature unlathed bells for greater tonal spread and additional sound frequencies while the two K Sweet Rides are darker versions of the popular A Zildjian Sweet Rides. Like all Zildjian cymbals, the new K Sweet Collection is made at the only USA cymbal factory in Norwell, MA.
