Frequently Asked Questions

The K-Custom Dark generally has more trashy overtones and a quicker response than the Avedis Dark, which tends to be a bit warmer and more wash-oriented.
While they share a similar aesthetic, the hammering is largely hand-applied, so each cymbal will have subtle variations in its pattern and resulting sound.
It'll cut through, but its dry character might be too subdued for extremely aggressive metal styles; it excels in more nuanced rock and alternative scenarios.
