K Custom - Dark, warm & distinctive
K Custom is a series of incredibly musical & dynamic cymbals. K Custom has a dark & warm undertone with a large body but still with a slightly brighter & more penetrating touch than many models of darker cymbals normally have. The hammering method Zildjian uses here gives the series controlled overtones & a lovely, discreet trashiness that does not take over but helps to bring out an explosiveness with a quick sortie. K Custom can be heard & comes through the music in a good way but are so fast that they do not mess up & take up too much space in the soundscape. So if you are looking for a model that suits most things but prefers the darker sound over, for example, the bright A-series, then K Custom is something for you.

Avedis had much greater success with his new business than with alchemy. His cymbals spread far beyond Constantinople and he passed down the formula for the unique copper, tin and silver alloy to his children who kept the business within the family.
