'''Description:''' This Custom Ride is a pre K Custom series 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. <br><br>

This is a heavy cymbal with the 22" model coming in at over 3400g. There is a related cymbal called the Custom Dry Ride which is a bit lighter and was shifted into the K Custom series. <br>
