  • Here’s the beauty that kicked off the famous K CUSTOM Series 40 years ago with the help of a young drummer named Dave Weckl!

  • These early K Customs are much darker and lower-pitched than the newer version, it could even pass as a 22”. 

  • You don’t see many of these 80s beauties around, check out the hammering! Super wavy surface - almost EAK -which is not surprising considering this K Custom was forged right after the EAKs. This is a totally different K Custom than the modern one. 

  • 2922 grams. It has a glorious stick attack, compliments of the unlathed surface and it’s much darker than the newer ones.  Famous unlathed, solid bell, terrific pin-point stick attack that cuts exceptionally well, a hint a of clean Brilliant shimmer. 

  • Darkened totally and dried over the last 40 years.  This is the ORIGINAL! 

  • Perfect for any style of music. Soft to loud. Time and myriad recordings have proven that.  

  • Fantastic shape! No issues. Instantly identifiable looking and sounding.

  • This Zildjian revolutionized the cymbal world.
