  • “But Gerry, I want DARK and FULL…AND VERSTILE! And I want it with a BELL dammit! A BELL!” 

  • I know, I know, I’ve heard your pleas!

  • And I have the answer!!

  • This Rare 40 year old hard to find 1980s Zildjian 20” Factory K “DARK CRASH!”

  • This beautiful Zildjian is a dark and full sounding K with a completely robust and rideable bell. The 6” bell indeed goes “DING!” and cuts superbly - one of the best for a crashable K DARK for sure.

  • The edges are thinner and give this beauty an easy response. Add the famous K hammering and lathing and you have this glorious and versatile 20”! 

  • 2232 grams - like a true Dark FULL but it’s mellowed when you ride on it - complements of that 4 decade old patina. 

  • Dark with a low and billowing wash when crashed upon.

  • As a Ride cymbal, it delivers a great stick articulation.  It’s fairly DRY for a fully lathed cymbal. Terrific penetrating bell. 

  • Perfect for low to loud settings.  This 20” K Dark Crash CUTS and still remains dark and responsive. 

  • New Zildjians Ks sound nothing like this - if you’re a cymbal fan then you know the truth I speak. 

  • Excellent condition. No issues. Very hard to find as the Factory 20” “DARK CRASH.” 

  • You can easily just bring this one cymbal to the gig. 

  • Stick. Bell. Crash.
