Introduction: 1991
Background:
Alloy: B20
Quality: Professional
Production: Rotary hammering and brilliant finish
Company Description: Recognized by their striking brilliant finish, A Custom cymbals 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. According to promotional material, the A Custom series isn't as bright as the A Zildjian series, but not as dark as the K Zildjians.
Series Features-
- Selective - Concentrates on an exclusive range of sounds drawn from the A Zildjian palette.
- Distinctive - Radical new rotary hammering techniques, exclusive to Zildjian, and special thin weights create a sophisticated sound quality reminiscent of cymbals from the forties and fifties.
- Modern - Enables contemporary drummers to add classic A sounds to today's music.
- Unique - Every cymbal is individually cast and rolled from the secret Zildjian alloy, creating instruments that each have a distinct voice and character.
