Dan Searle's Cymbals
"It's great, I used to be very loyal and obsessed with the K series, but am cheating on them with the Sweet Ride, I only wanna use this cymbal it's fantastic"
In a kit tour video by Rhythm Magazine, Dan Searle of Architects discusses his Zildjian 15" K Light Hi-Hats, praising their feel and sound. He emphasizes how the extra inch compared to 14" hi-hats significantly enhances his playing experience.
"Zildjian have recently revamped their A Custom range and I have chosen to use the 20' Crash which world perfectly as an accent crash; my go-to crash for the start of every bar, or an accent with the snare when I feel like the China maybe isn't so appropriate. A fantastic cymbal from a new unbelievable range of A Custom cymbals".
"I don't know if I'll ever change it, such a great, durable, reliable, fantastic sounding cymbal"

Dan used to use a Custom Dark ride as his main right-hand cymbal pre-2014, until the release of 'Lost Forever // Lost Together'.
In a kit tour featured by Rhythm Magazine on YouTube, Dan Searle of Architects mentions using the Zildjian 19" K Custom Hybrid China Cymbal extensively before 2014 and the release of their new album.
"All the K Chinas are great, I used the Hybrid for a long long time and it's pretty much neck and neck with the two, one day this, the next it'll be the Hybrid. It's a 19", good weight to it, dark: I don't want it to be too nasty on your ear, sometimes I feel that some other Chinas are just a bit too shrill, and I like that it has a bit of give and can get a bit of bend out of it. I feel there is a certain amount of give when my stick hits it compared to the rock hard thick chinas which i feel like i could shatter like a china plate. This is spot on for me and I love it.
"When writing the newest records I felt that I was looking for certain accents and this is perfect; they're kinda trashy, spot on for what I need."
