"Zildjian is the best, and it’s not close. There’s just something so special about the A custom family. They will always be my go to cymbals!"
"My all time favourite line of crashes, playing with them for many many years and definitely will be playing them forever. Absolutely stunning cymbals for any musical genre, in studio / live. Period."
"This is the end all be all of a cymbal that has a character of its own. Bright, warm, shimmery and a touch of sweetness. She opens up beautifully with a lovely resonance."
"I like thinner crashes, for the short sustain, and brightness."
"I use this with a 16 and 17" Custom fast crashes. The smaller diameter and slightly heavier weight make this a great match with the larger fast crashes. It has that traditional decay and blast that really make it stand out. Great cymbal."
"I've used many A Custom cymbals of all sizes and types over the years. As with all the others, this one sounds great for rock, or for any type of music requiring cymbals to sit over the mix."
"Excellent crash ... Made a big sound difference with the band . Love it !!"
"I bought this cymbal to compare with the 16" Sweet Crash and it's an awesome sounding cymbal!"
"Durable, bright - love these cymbals. Largely playing rock, and it does the job."
"they invented cymbals, what more can I say??"
