Description

A Zildjian

• High pitched. Full-bodied. Heavier than the Medium Thin Crash.¹
  
• The heaviest weight of all the A Custom Crashes, the Medium Crashes have a sharp, cutting attack with a high-pitched cymbal sound, yet shimmer with brilliance and musicality.²
  

A Custom

• Recognized by their striking brilliant finish, A Custom Medium Crashes feature unique tonal grooves and lower profiles. Together, these attributes produce a smoother, glassier and brighter sounding cymbal with more give when struck. It is these qualities that have made the sound of A Customs particularly sought after in the studio. Heaviest weight of all the A Custom Crashes. Sharp, cutting attack. Perfect choice when even more volume is desired. High-pitched cymbal sound. Shimmers with brilliance and musicality.³

Z Custom

• Stunning, loud, powerful yet musical crash.⁴
