Default Paiste Twenty Customs

Does anyone have these? I'm impressed with the way they sound, and I've ordered some in to hear them.

If any of you guys have heard them, I'd love to hear your opinions on them, I'm opting for the Full series, as opposed to the Metal series.

I've had a Twenty crash (the previous line) not Customs (new line). ive heard they're not too different. Great cymbals, very unique sound, even for Paiste. Pretty loud, giving, dark, and still musical. To my ear, Didn't fit with my other Paistes at the time (2002's) so eventually sold, but I would love a complete set of these.

I hear that they are slightly brighter than the Twentys, but still dark in the overall spectrum. I'm going to post my impressions when they arrive in the store. I'm leaning heavily towards a 22" Ride at the moment.

I'm quite impressed by their sound. I really like the thin china (not the "metal' china).

i have not been able to get into the heavy sound of cymbals like these... they look so beautiful, but every time i try one it sounds so clangy and loud to me.. i prefer 602's or giant beats.... you don't hear too many people say they use a 20 or 24 giant beat as a jazz ride, but i find it sounds just dark enough but still sweet... which is what i like for a jazz sound
