Review: "The A Custom Chinas, while not being as scary as the Oriental Classics, are unique in that they are the first Chinas to be introduced in the A Custom line. It's very interesting to hear how the A Custom sound—clear, airy, and bright—merges with a China design. Yes, there's that beautiful shimmer and texture, but it's coming out of a lower, trashier China effect.
The A Custom China is available in 18" and 20" sizes. The cymbals are thin, helping to produce an explosive attack sound with a short decay. The 18" is particularly fast, but with a clean shimmer that is unique for Chinas. It works well for that punctuating, short-crash effect. The 20", while having a big crash sound, is particularly fun to ride on. The typical, trashy China sound mixed with the shimmer of the A Custom line made for a ride sound that cut through the band in a musical, not annoying way. This might be the China cymbal for people who find China cymbals to be a bit too harsh."
