A Superb 19" Crash

The A Zildjian series are the cymbals that launched a million drum solos and shaped musical history - tried-and-true musical icons with a history that spans centuries, across countless musical genres. A Zildjians are the world's most popular and versatile cymbals, and for good reason. They explode with a spectrum of tonal colors and excel in any musical setting. They're extremely sensitive to your particular touch and style yet capable of producing as much volume as your music demands.

Awesome A Series Cymbals

This 19" Medium Thin crash is just awesome. When I switched to Zildjian cymbals, from Paiste, that I played for about 20 years, these new crash cymbals were the big surprise for me. I got used to the burst of white noise and quick decay of my old crash cymbals. But, not so with these Zildjian A Series cymbals. They have a lush, rich, and long sustain that was immediately superior to me. The 19" model joins my 16", 17" & 18" Medium Thin A Series cymbals, so I have no shortage of crash cymbals at my disposal. And they all sit perfectly in the mix, and completely compliment each other. I didn't need to test drive any of them either. The 19" sounds so good, it sounds like it's already broken in, which it isn't, so the sound will only get better as time goes by and it's played more (cymbals, like guitar strings, have a break in period). The 19" is already my favorite crash cymbal of the bunch. I know, they do make a 20" model! Makes me wonder... But for now, I am really, really, really happy with the 19" model. The purchase, and satisfaction of the sale, could not have gone any better. Kudos to Matt Masek for another great job!

All-around crash

If you're looking for an affordable (but not 'cheap' sounding) crash, get this. It sits so well in the mix without being one of "those" crashes. Bright to medium, with a good sustain & clear bell. The bow is a bit tin-y to my ears, but the crash tone is exactly what you want it to be.

I gravitate to the warmer side of crashes (K Sweets, K Customs), but I was pleasantly surprised with this. Applicable in all genres too. I've used it in small clubs & outdoor stages, and it sounds great anywhere.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
