A Custom

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. Fast, colorful crash sound. Short,explosive attack. Paper-thin weight opens up immediately. Very short sustain. For a very clean and musical splash sound.⁴

Pitch Black

• As far as Splashes go this is a powerhouse. Produces a loud, short accent.⁶
