It certainly looks like a modern K Custom ride, it's unlathed, heavy and loud.. but I'm not sure. Do any of you...

    Taylor Hawkins latest cymbal setup, anybody?

    Hi everybody, I was just watching Foo Fighters' performance on Letterman and I'm very curious about Taylor's new setup. Obviously I can identify the 20" A Custom EFX as his second crash.
