The Zildjian K Klassisch Symphonic series follows the lineage of K cymbals, renowned for their dark and complex character, with a positioning clearly oriented towards orchestras and large halls . Designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding musicians, this line emphasizes refined control, rich timbre, and a wide dynamic range, to cover both delicate passages and powerful impacts of the symphonic repertoire.

Who is this instrument for?

This crash cymbal is primarily aimed at orchestral percussionists and musicians performing in symphonic ensembles , from advanced intermediate to expert level . Its 17-inch diameter is particularly suitable for passages that require an expressive crash, with an excellent balance between definition and amplitude . It excels in classical and contemporary repertoire, but is also appropriate for film music contexts or ensembles where a dark and noble color is desired, capable of projecting itself without being aggressive.

Designed to "master every nuance," the K Klassisch Symphonic 17 stands out for its meticulous control and expressiveness . Its medium-heavy thickness favors a stable attack and a useful power reserve in large venues, while maintaining a progressive response that transitions from pianissimo to the firmest crashes. The traditional finish contributes to an organic sound, with a rich harmonic spectrum that blends naturally into the orchestral mass rather than standing out.

The timbre

Thanks to its B20 alloy , this cymbal develops a dense timbre, with rich and complex harmonics that add dimension without hardening the sound. Dark and warm crashes are obtained , with a very musical sense of amplitude and beautiful continuity in sound projection. The medium-heavy

thickness reinforces projection and stability, with a generous sustain that settles and remains in the space. The result: a cymbal designed to "breathe" in the acoustics of a room, offering a wide dynamic range and excellent ability to sustain the orchestra, from the lightest passages to the most powerful impacts.

Features

• Dark, expansive, and warm crash : a rich orchestral response that brings depth and relief to both the tutti and the nuances.
• B20 Alloy : high harmonic complexity and great musicality, ideal for integration into an orchestra.
• Medium-heavy thickness : solid projection and remarkable sustain, without losing control in the room.
• Traditional finish : natural balance of harmonies and a "classic" feel to the touch.
