Since the 1950's, Paper Thin cymbals have been a part of Zildjian's offerings, and after an extensive review of over 70 years of cymbal trends for drummer's needs that still exist in the current musical landscape. For years, players have been demanding the return of this weight class, and thanks to new advancements by the R&D team at Zildjian, this new collection joins the legendary K family with a range of crash sizes, combining the coveted characteristics of Paper Thin with the attributes usually only found in larger cymbals.

As strong as they are slim, the Paper Thin cymbals deliver an explosive dark crash with a fast decay, and with a smooth feel and response. Crucial to the tone of these cymbals is a redesigned three-step hammering process, which enhance flexibility and tonal detail that make up the signature sound of these crashes. Very thin profiles produce extra shimmer when crashed, delivering a low-end resonance not found anywhere else in the K range.
