ZILDJIAN K Prototype 21” Brilliant. (27)

Ride 21", new, 2,460 grams.

Prototype built in the early 2000s, not marketed; it was part of the private collection of a Zildjian endorser. Brilliant finish, wide and deep hammering, rather pronounced bell; closely resembles the K Custom Session series dedicated to Steve Gadd. There are no stamps or logos other than the one at the bottom.

It has a medium low tone and a very defined ping.

A very interesting prototype and evidently more unique than rare.
