Description:

One of Zildjian's most popular and in-demand crash sounds, the A Custom Crash utilizes radical rotary hammering techniques and a thin weight to produce a crisp, sweet tone with beautiful warm undertones. Recognized by their striking brilliant finish, A Custom cymbals feature unique tonal grooves and a lower profile for a smoother, glassier, brighter sound with more give when struck.

Sound Character: Natural, bright — not too high, not too low. Speaks very quickly, with beautiful warm undertones and relatively quick decay.

Key Specs:

  • Size: 16"
  • Series: A Custom Crash (standard)
  • Weight: Thin
  • Finish: Brilliant
  • Sound: Bright/mid
  • Sustain: Short
  • Volume: General

At 16", this is the most commonly used size in the A Custom Crash line — full-bodied enough to anchor a kit's crash voice while still speaking fast and staying out of the way of the rest of the mix. A great all-purpose choice across rock, jazz, pop, and studio work.
