Description
Sound Creation
This Custom Ride is a pre K Custom line cymbal. The K Custom series appeared in 1995 with different models called Medium Ride and Dark Ride. The K series Custom was hammered on the relatively new radial hammering machine, then pressed into shape, then some additional irregular hammering was added. The radial 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 radial hammering machine is also used on the A Custom series.
The Custom model first appeared in 1987 in 16", 18" and 20". The 22" was added in 1987.
