General

This 18-inch Zildjian china has a wide dynamic range and a trashy sound, without compromising the bright character that we've come to expect from the A Custom series.

Zildjian A Custom series

The Zildjian A Custom series of cymbals is know for its quick response and its bright sound. A Custom cymbals range from thin to medium weight and feature a brilliant finish. They are manufactured using rotary hammering techniques. Another characteristic of A Custom cymbals is that most models have a relatively small bell, compared to cymbals from other series. Zildjian A Custom cymbals are suited for various styles of music, making them very popular with all-round drummers.

Cast Bronze

The Zildjian A Custom cymbals are cast from a special bronze alloy, the exact composition of which has been a Zildjian family secret for over 390 years. Although the process of further shaping and fine-tuning the cymbals has been modernised throughout the years, to this day, the craftsmen at Zildjian ensure that these cymbals are still valued highly in the drumming community. They're some of the best cymbals in the world!
