Description: The Custom model is a pre K Custom series cymbal. The K series Custom was hammered on the relatively new rotary hammering machine, then pressed into shape, then some additional irregular hammering was added. The rotary hammer machine is why these have unusual hammering patterns compared to other Ks. You can see circles of hammering, and on the underside they "print through" as concentric circles. If this looks familiar that's because the rotary hammering machine is also used on the A Custom series.
Review: This is a nice cymbal when one needs stick definition with a dark mix of wash and overtones. This has a nice bell sound, and even though it's heavy, it can be crashed. (Simon Phillips did just that when he used this on the Who's 1989 Tour.)
