Awesome...
That sure a nice combination mate....
I see you have also A Custom Mastersound....So compare with it....
Which is better ??
Wow am I loving the sound of these hihats!
I took a 13" Zildjian K Custom HiHat top (circa early 90's) and combined it with my brand new 13" Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Hihat bottom.
This combination has a much nicer tone than most matching pairs of K Custom Hihats and is definately more pleasing to me than a K custom top / Z custom dyno beat bottom.
I hope others try it and like it. It would be cool to start a drumming gear trend

you really can't say whats better when comparing zildjian A series to K series. One is a brilliant finish and the other lathed. I honestly love the sound of my a custom mastersound 14" hihats but they project a bit too much for the music i'm currently playing and think I'd dig a 13" set of those too. I've been playing a pair of 14" k customs i purchased new in 1995 and they sound darker and have a heavier more substantial feel to them. i really like those but decided i wanted something a bit lighter so i moved on to the 13" k custom hybrid hihats which are beautiful but a tad to bright for me. I really think a new pair of 13" k custom dark hihats will be best for me but for now, combining the bottom hybrid hat with the 90's 13" k custom top is producing the most balanced sound. its a tad lighter sounding than the k custom pair but surprisingly a bit more trashy.
