Review: "This is an ideal ride for those who like to hear a good "click" when the tip of the stick contacts the cymbal, and who also enjoy being able to really lay into a ride cymbal without overpowering an acoustic trio. The K Custom Flat Top ride is somewhat drier than the "regular" K Flat Top ride, but it still has enough overtones to give it some shimmer.
Jazz drummers will appreciate the K Custom's articulation: Even at the fastest tempos every subdivision is audible.
