Zildjian K Light Hi-Hats 15" – Excellent Condition –
Condition: Excellent
Clean and structurally perfect. No cracks, no keyholing, no warping.
Both cymbals show light cosmetic patina spots on the edges and surface—very common for traditional-finish K’s and 100 percent cosmetic. Logos are strong, edges are clean, and tone is unaffected.
About These Hi-Hats
The 15" K Light Hi-Hats are one of Zildjian’s most musical hat pairs: dark, warm, expressive, and incredibly versatile. They sit lower in pitch than standard K Hi-Hats, with a sloshy, open feel and a mellow, organic tone when closed. These deliver across jazz, rock, country, singer-songwriter, worship, and studio work.
This pair is from our personal collection and has been kept in excellent condition.
Style: 5/5
Works across nearly every genre, from subtle to heavy-handed applications.
Tonality: 5/5
Dark, warm, low-pitched, and musical. Classic K complexity with a smooth blend.
Response: 4/5
Expressive feel with a sloshy open sound and crisp, warm “chick.” Medium-thin top and medium bottom give excellent dynamic control.
