"I acually own six of them. . . both 16" and 17" Their tone, durability, and versatility make them exceptional for light jazz and also great for metal. . . the best cymbals in the world!!"
"Been part of the Zildjian family for over 50 years. I've used their products exclusively and have never been disappointed. Their cymbals are alive, each with it's own personality, while maintaining a consistency within the various sizes. These are simply the best cymbals available. . . period."
"I swear by zildjian cymbols. It's been a long time since I've bought anything like that but I used to have a very old 20-in ride and it had the deepest richest sound I've ever heard because it was thicker than the newer symbols I would love to find another one."
"I absolutely love this crash cymbal. I've been playing Zildjian cymbals for over 30 years and this is one of my absolute favorites. It just opens up so nicely, with a great, almost smooth crash sound. It also has a great feel with the medium-thin weight, is very responsive, and feels so good it just makes you want to hit it!"
"For the past 40 + years I always had K zildjian cymbals dark even a dry ride . I decided to try a couple of A zildjian cymbals a 16 and a 18 inch crash Pleasantly surprised . I'm on vacation so the next pop rock gig I do I'll be tuning in on how they blend in with my music"
"Bought the 16" and 18" Medium Thin "A" crashes primarily for a future gig in a large ballroom. I needed a brighter, louder cymbal than the thin, dark crashes I usually play. These "A's" will work perfectly."
"I needed something to accompany the special dry I was using. Has great resonation, and sizzle shape of its decay. Just wish the bell had more bite. Good addition to my kit."
"I took advantage of the holiday sale and got this for a great price. Fast shipping from a nearby location. Great cymbal. Bright sustained crash and a great addition to my other Zildjians."
"These new A series crashes sound way better to my ears and surprisingly blend incredibly well with my K Sweets & Clusters, as well as my A Customs. Highly recommend."
"I play all sorts of styles of music. This cymbal does it all. I got it during the Black Friday deal so you can't beat the price and overall value. Look no further than this for your crash cymbal need(s)"
