This Crash Has Punch!

If you want a crash cymbal that punches through the mix, you've found it. With amazing power, body, and a stronger high end than regular A Custom crashes, the Zildjian A Custom 17" Projection Crash has the sonic moxie you've been searching for.

A Customs are just right for modern music

It's tough to top the unmistakable and reliable sound of A Zildjians for almost any playing situation, but the award-winning A Customs are an irresistible alternative. Developed with the assistance of drumming icon Vinnie Colaiuta, A Customs utilize radical rotary hammering techniques, thin to medium weights, and a brilliant finish for a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound. Not too dark, not too bright — cymbals that are just right for modern music.

Cast B20 bronze generates premium tone and projection

A Customs, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from Zildjian's secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.

Zildjian A Custom 17" Projection Crash Features:

  • Cast bronze crash cymbal that really punches through the mix
  • Superior power and body with a powerful high end
  • Excellent projection and volume
  • Medium-thin weight
  • Brilliant finish

Great First Impression

I was in a bit of a bind because I had a piece of gear break at the last gig and I needed it replaced before this weekend"s gig. All my other options could not guarantee getting it to me in time.

That"s when a bandmate recommended Nick at Sweetwater. I sent him an email and, by 30 minutes later, he had called me, told me about the product, completed the sale, and had it scheduled for shipping this week. He was super friendly as well.

I will absolutely be a repeat customer.
Music background: Drums and Percussion

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.
