Up for sale is a very unique Zildjian 20" K Ride Prototype from the 2000s approximately. This cymbal weighs in at 2731 grams, is unlathed and hand hammered. There is a cluster of 4 factory rivets directly across from the Zildjian logo. There is a very faint K stamp on the cymbal. I would put this in the K Custom Dry range of cymbals. No stamps other than a quick Zildjian on top (looks barely inked) and Zildjian on bottom which is clearer. The bell is low profile and has a lot of ping and personality with the stick tip and shoulder. The lack of lathing and additional hammering really gives this a dry stick sound but the 4 rivets add a nice sustaining sizzle that does not overpower. The cymbal has no cracks, keyholes or fleabites and looks relatively unplayed. This would pair well with the K Custom left side ride.
