Review: "The new A Custom swish cymbals are available in 18", 20", and 22" sizes. The general A Custom characteristics applied to swish cymbals is a nice combination. For me, the thinner the swish cymbal, the better. And since the A Customs are thin to begin with, all the swishes sounded good to me. Normally, when a swish cymbal has a Brilliant finish, there seems to be a "gonginess" to the sound— a little less trash and a little more tone. (Some people prefer that; I don't.) However, the A Customs are nice and trashy, and not very gong-like at all. Also, the pitch of these cymbals is surprisingly low for anything with an A printed on it! So, basically, they're low-pitched and trashy, with short sustain."
