However, considering that they now get their drums from China, I don't know if I'd put my money on a Chinese custom-job. I just don't have that much confidence in the Chinese.

As much as I hate to say this, the Chinese actually do a very good job of casting iron. The trick is that you have to specify exactly what you want, because that will be the spec they make it to. With the experience I've had dealing with late models, and using rotors cast here, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and China, the Chinese drums and rotors seemed to be at least as good of quality as the US, Canadian, and Brazilian made parts, and in some cases, surpassed them, and far surpassed the Mexican made parts. I've actually had to machine a new rotor made in Mexico because it was so far out of spec for runout, never had to do that with a Chinese version of the same part.
Also, consider the fact that the Chinese were casting iron when the Europeans were still trying to figure out Bronze.
