Better than the price tag!

I bought this crash roughly 2 and a half years ago as my first cymbal purchase to replace the stock crash that came with my kit. For the price, it is more than worth it. It has a lovely bright tone that cuts through the guitars with piercing force.

As I advance in my drumming career, I appreciate this cymbal more and more. I like the sound of the bell. The crash itself is quite loud, which is not ideal for my practice setting, but a pair of noise cancelling earbuds does the trick. Would highly recommend this cymbal

Absolute Clarity

Nothing cuts through the mix, in my opinion, quite like A Customs. This Crash strikes a balance between meaty attack with a bright clarity, and a warm decay that keeps swells ringing out, and will keep an audience's attention.

Crash's are for punctuating a phrase or to help make a point, which this crash absolutely nails with class.

Brilliant beauty

I used to play heavy rock using louder cymbals "Z Heavy 18"" before, but "A-Custom crash" 16" is a poetry in its range. Now I am more focused on sound and A-Custom is perfect. Not only sounds beautiful (B20 alloy), but also makes huge impression visually.

High Quality - Beautiful Sound

Not the most expensiv crash out there, but it features a great bright, choppy sound as well as good looks and high quality manufacturing.

Fits really well with my Zildjians K/Z 14" Dyno Beat hi-hats and my Zildjian A series Crash/ Ride 18"

Great sound

We chose the A Custom after a bit of research and listening similar sized crashes when out an about. Not the most expensive but a great bright sound when played hard! Definitely recommend it.
