What do you guys think about the Zildjian K Custom Hybrids? I just heard a sound clip of them for the first time and am pretty impressed. Any thoughts?

Here's the sound clip: http://drummersgroove.com/media/Hybrids%20Sample.mp3

The cymbals used are:
13.25" Hi-Hats and 19" China

They are absolutely amazing....I got to play them at the vault sale at the Gadd clinic. The Crashes sound really nice, expecially the 17 inch.

Part of the cymbal is lathed, and part of it is left unlathed. Its a hybrid of the two.

Interesting. The anatomy of cymbals is so complicated for such a seemingly simple thing.
