Description: This Custom Ride is a pre K Custom line cymbal. It was moved into the K Custom series when that appeared in 1995. It 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.
