    • Super quality

Zildjian cymbals are pricey but the sound is so exceptional and it looks super nice amongst the set. Very happy with the purchase.

    • As Bright as Jesus!
Size: 16"
When my band went to record our first record, it was determined that my current cymbals at the time were as trashy Patrick Star's belly button. I decided to get some A Customs to replace my ZBT's. These things sound like God almighty's Heavenly palace in drum form. They are as bright as the sun itself and almost as beautiful as my girlfriend's smile. In the mix they cut through perfectly like scalpel being used for an autopsy. As a metal drummer, the bright sound contrasts nicely with the dark nature of the music, or to those of you who have a strong distaste for metal, that Satan scream noise stuff. Overall, this is one of the nicest cymbals I've heard. As with any cymbal, the sideways hitting technique will improve the life expectancy of it so that scalpel doesn't need to be used for many months, which is about how long my first one lasted. ... show more

    • Great sound. Not so great durability.

Amazing sound but the cymbal has started cracking after just a year. I do not have a heavy hand and have had similar crash cymbals last much longer. Update: bumping it up a star because the Zildjian store honored their warranty.

    • Very Nice cymbal
Size: 18"
This purchase worked out very well. The cymbal sounds very nice and mixed well sonically with my other cymbals. Very pleased!

    • Excellent Sound and Durability
Size: 16"
I have had this cymbal for probably 4+ years now, and it has held up great. Minimal rust and tarnish and no physical damage after very hard use (although I never played it more than once a week or so). This has been my favorite cymbal in my set all along, the rest are zildjians but not A custom, except my 20" ride which is indestructible, bar none. Has a darker sound, probably due to the high thickness, but this adds durability and is truly the best sounding cymbal in my set. It can really take a beating! Highly recommend. ... show more

Just what I expected! High quality and fantastic sound. A fast decay with just the right volume. No regrets
