Zildjian 19" A-Custom Crash 5-stars Reviews

Great sound, works well in studio

I wanted a crash with a full sound that can cut through the mix in songs with heavy guitars and loud open hi-hats and that's what I got.

This crash has the typical crash sound, nothing fancy and special about it, but it is very well balanced and fills the mix just where you need it. I would say it is more on the low-end side, but has just enough highs. It is also pretty loud, which is what I was looking for recording-wise, but in a rehearsal it can get uncomfortable so I recommend ear protection.

Compared to the 20'' A-custom crash, it lacks a bit of the lows and mids but it is great if you are using the 19'' for smaller accents and the 20'' or both the cymbals for huge accents like the beginning of the song or the chorus. Another great thing about this crash is that you can hit it hard or hit it soft and it will sound great in both instances.

Conclusion: if you are looking for a loud crash which is great in studio this is the crash for you... of course if you have the money, it is definitely on the pricey side.

A+ Custom Crash

I play in a metalcore band and this crash is one of my favourites! It sounds so clear and blends in fine with my other cymbals. I've used this on recordings too and the sound is really amazing.

would recommend this to every drummer!!
