Review: "If you’re already accustomed to the dark tones of Zildjian’s K Customs eries, you’ll have no problem relating to the beautiful sounds produced by this new line of splashes. The sweet sounds of the K Custom Dark splashes offer the perfect complement to the subtle dark wash that the K Custom series is known for.
The cymbals look like they’ve been used for target practice with a BB gun. But those small hammering marks help spread the sound and give the cymbals a warmer tone. All three sizes produce a more subtle tone than that offered by splashes that are typically bright and abrasive. If you’re looking for warmth and subtlety in a splash, look no further."
