Pros
The dual Hybrid finishes make this a musical set of cymbals, capable of wide tonal variations.
Cons
The Hybrid finish makes the cymbals extremely expensive, so be extra sure they are really what you want.
Verdict
These are fine cymbals which reward a musical, inventive touch. But by doing several things well can they do one thing brilliantly? Other than the musical china and the killing, hissing hi hats, we have to say we preferred previous K Customs with their more singular designs.
