K Custom cymbal pack - LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

Managed to get myself a pack which was 15" Light hats, 17 & 19" Dark Thin Crashes and a 22" light ride. All the cymbals compliment each other perfectly and even sound good in a rock setting. I've been waiting for the perfect ride to crash on for Use Somebody by Kings of Leon, and this is it. Nice bell as well.

The 19" crash works as a ride as well if I tap it lightly. I use it for songs like I love to Boogie and Crazy Little Thing Called Love where the 22" ride is slightly overpowering.

All bought for under £700 including shipping.

Happy happy happy! :)

Just thought I'd share, sorry if its not interesting to some.
 
Nice! I have the same pack and love them. I do want to get another ride eventually though for playing heavier while recording.
 
Where are you guys finding this pack?

I just looked around and could not find that configuration... Sounds perfect for my needs right now.

thanks

Funny you should mention Kings of Leon Use Somebody, The Drummer (Nathan) Uses the 24" K light ride as a crash ride on that song.
 
These are not K Customs by the way, these cymbals are from the regular K line, just posting to avoid any confusion from the header on the OP's post.
 
BFrench501 didn't provide a link - just a description.

I don't see such a set at Zildjian's site, but it doesn't seem too unlikely to run across a K Custom pack with those sizes - IDK.
 
Just to clear up the confusion, I know what OP is talking about, its an Ebay ad thats up on Uk Ebay, it seems a custom pack but he has more then a couple and has sold a couple of them too

Thats correct, the company are called Cymbal Magic and based in Cornwall, England. I think the way they do it is a bit naughty to be honest, they put 10% of the price as shipping, to make you email them directly at their shop, then you do the purchase directly through them so they avoid any Ebay fees. I had 5% doubt over whether it was going to be genuine or not, but I can vouch for them as being completely genuine, and even better they are at your door within 48-72 hours.

Thats their problem though, not mine! :)

Sorry for confusing by saying K Custom, they are just run of the Mill Zildjian K's but they really are great!

They do other packs with 14" hats, 16 & 18" dark thins and 20" ride. I'd love to afford both packs. The other great thing is they give you a cymbal bag which I can put on my back! So I can take cymbals, snare case and pedal case on the bus now whereas before I'd have to taxi everything around.

They supposedly do 'deals' on Axis pedals but to me £500+ is not necessary for a double pedal when you are not aspiring to achieve 250BPM with your feet.
