Review: "As for the 19", I'll happily go on record to say that the cymbal we received for review was one of the best-sounding crash cymbals I've ever heard! Normally a 19" crash needs to be whacked to get it to start sounding, but the A Custom is very responsive. Due to its thinner weight (and, I suppose, the new hammering system), it sounded excellent when just lightly tapped. And when I laid into it, the crash sound was very "splashy" and pure, with no unwanted overtones— just beautiful!"
