Please refrain from price negotiations. This is a highly-regarded early IAK (Intermediate Avedis K / circa 1985-1990) cymbal from the Zildjian K series. I purchased it about a year ago and used it a few times in live performances. As I'm changing my cymbals and it will see less use, I'd like to offer it to someone who will appreciate it. (Please note that I may suddenly remove the listing, as it could be needed for tours or recording sessions.) Zildjian K Dark Crash Thin 16" (early IAK / approx. 1015g) This cymbal is characterized by its warm, dry, yet responsive crash sound, typical of this era. You can get a more organic and three-dimensional tone, distinctly different from the current K series. The weight is approximately 1015g, measured with an inexpensive scale. It's a thin cymbal with good response, and its sound blends naturally with the entire drum set. This is a rare early IAK cymbal from before the serial number stamping period, and the markings (MADE IN USA, GENUINE TURKISH CYMBALS) are clearly visible. ■ Condition ・No cracks, chips, or keyhole deformation ・Minor stick marks and slight dullness near the edges (no problem for playing) ・The edges are in very good condition ■ Specifications Brand: Zildjian Series: K Zildjian Model: Dark Crash Thin Size: 16 inches (approx. 40cm) Weight: Approx. 1015g Era: Early IAK (circa 1985-1990) Country of Manufacture: Made in USA This is a gem that allows you to feel the "depth," "warmth," and "complex overtones" characteristic of the good old IAK Zildjians. Recommended for those looking for a tone not found in current models, and for those looking for a crash cymbal that can be used widely from jazz to fusion to pop.
