Masterwork Custom Series

Masterwork targets the all-round drummer in particular with its Custom series. The Custom cymbals are made by hand. This is done according to traditional methods and, not entirely coincidentally, in Istanbul; the capital of cymbals as we know them today. A unique B25 alloy consisting of 75% copper and 25% tin is used for all Masterwork cymbals, including the Custom series. Even traces of silver can be found here and there! Masterwork Custom cymbals have a balanced, dynamic, earthy sound with a nice, medium-long sustain. The response and articulation these cymbals offer make every drummer happy.

The frequency range is wide and the overtones we hear sound complex, but not too much. Masterwork cymbals are made by craftsmen who have years of experience in making the perfect cymbals. With the Custom series, Masterwork competes with the well-known, big drum brands. Because Masterwork manages to keep the price relatively low, this brand and this series are very interesting for both beginners and advanced drummers.
