Review: "The two new A Custom rides are 20"and 22" ping models. The two are very similar in character, with the 20" being a little bit higher in pitch. These are both good-sounding rides, with a clear bell sound, a nice tone, and not too much spread. Since this entire line is just a tad softer than "regular" cymbals, I found I could dig into the rides and not over-power the situation— almost as if there were a little bit of tape on them. Something I particularly liked aboutthe rides was their overall tone. The stick sound was clear and high-pitched,but there was still a slight element of what I like to call "trash"— a hint of that good ol' K sound. For me, it gave the cymbals just a little more personality than regular As.
