New K Lights, Adrian Young stick: Zildjian.

THE AVEDIS ZILDJIAN CO. has expanded its popular K Light cymbal series with a new ride and two new pairs of hi-hats. This development provides even more options to the growing number of rock and pop drummers choosing the darker sounds of the K Zildjian cymbal range. Zildjian's new 22" K Light Ride comes in a traditional finish and is thin in weight. It features the same "smoky" sound and excellent stick definition of the existing 24" model but in a smaller, more controllable size.

The new 15" and 16" K Light Hihats offer more volume and lots of "wash" for a "sloshy" feel. They feature a traditional finish with a medium-thin weight top cymbal and a medium weight bottom cymbal. The 16" K Light HiHats are the first ever 16" HiHats offered in the K Zildjian range. Both the Ride and the HiHats are versatile enough for almost any style of music.

Zildjian has also introduced a redesigned Adrian Young Artist Series drumstick for 2008. Visually striking, the No Doubt drummer's stick is black on the back half with Young's name printed on the stick in signature No Doubt text in a silver checkerboard graphic, while the front half is white. Complemented by a black nylon tip for extra durability and clear projection, this stick is truly distinctive.

At 16-1/2" in length and 0.585" in diameter, Adrian Young Artists Series drumsticks are perfect for rock, punk, ska, Burundi, and every other style of music that Adrian plays.
