  • The mid tones are mellow
Size: 19" Style: medium thin
Great 19” cymbal, with awesome mid tones that speak beautifully warm, has very good wash, good decay, somewhat of a bright bell, opens fair quickly, nicely controlled and offers good volume. As a pure crash cymbal, it does not have the stick definition that a crash/ride may offer but if you ride closer to the bell you can find a decent stick definition and articulation found in a crash/ride. It is lighter in weight than it’s 18” crash/ride equivalent. I also purchased the same in 18” and it too is a winner with slightly less subdued volume and wash. One of the things I noticed is that this cymbal does not exhibit upfront trashy tones, which I already have in my other cymbals, and, therefore, welcome this sweeter sound as an alternative shade of sound to own. ... show more

  • Great cymbal
Size: 16" Style: medium thin
I’ve used zildjian for over 30 years. I would prefer to buy cymbals after I’ve hit them in the music store. I had owned this same cymbal for many years so I knew buying another one on line would not be a disappointment if I couldn’t play it first. I was correct, when it arrived and I played it, it sounded awesome. Zildjian never disappoints . I highly recommend this and other zildjian cymbals. You too won’t be disappointed. ... show more

Size: 17" Style: Medium Thin
Zildjian A's are back!! The re-designed A line is amazing. I bought this 17" and a pair of 14" New Beats and played them for the first time at a gig. I am in love....yes...in love. I used this as a Crash, Ride, Bell Patterns....It does it all nicely. I am in a Classic Rock/Blues band and this is perfect.... so versatile. I can't wait to try it out in other situations. Put it this way...I am selling my Paiste 2002's, and buying more A's. Just got a 18" Crash/Ride. You won't be disappointed!! ... show more

  • Zildjian A 16 inch medium thin crash
Size: 16" Style: medium thin
I bought this cymbal to replace an old one that cracked. I've been replacing my old cymfor zildjians and I really am very satisfied with their sound, their looks, well, I love them, this one specially cause is an A series, an upgrade in my drum kit. Personaqlly, now that I experienced this line of cymbals is difficult for me to choose other than A series. ... show more

  • 16" - more like a Fast Crash
Size: 16" Style: medium thin
Very disappointing in my setup. At 971 grams it plays and sounds more like a Fast Crash. It makes the sizzling "sh-h-h" crash sound and that's about it. It does have the tone interval I want with my other cymbals though. In moderate to loud volume situations, it is almost like a big splash cymbal. My 18" A Thin is 30% heavier and still has short sustain. Of course, my 19" K Sweet is about 600 grams heavier. Thought this might help someone compare. Of course the post-pandemic greed pricing is a big drawback on all Zildjians. ... show more
