Zildjian A Custom
With their glassy tones and buttery-smooth response, Zildjian A Custom cymbals serve a wide range of player needs — from stadium rock to studio swing. Bright and sweet, dynamic and natural, each cymbal in this diverse line of crashes, splashes, and rides is made from musically expressive B20 bronze. Not only that, but each Zildjian A Custom cymbal comes lathed and buffed from the factory in a beautiful, brilliant finish for premium sound and instant recognition in a performance setting. First-call drummers at Sweetwater and throughout the industry have been reaching for Zildjian A Customs since their 1992 debut. In contrast to their A Zildjian brethren, A Custom cymbals tend to be lighter in weight and lower in profile. This contrast yields a line of A-series cymbals with deeper tones and more focused penetrating power.
Expressive B20 bronze
Zildjian’s guarded B20 bronze alloy — a fusion of 80% copper, 20% bronze, and trace elements — has helped shape the sound of generations of music for centuries and counting. It’s the same B20 alloy you’ll find in every Zildjian A Custom cymbal from Sweetwater. Extensive symmetrical hammering unlocks the musical riches in every cymbal, with perfect results from piece to piece.
Sweet tone, deep fundamentals
If you’re the type of drummer who loves a deep, buttery crash and a dark, enveloping ride, you’re not alone. Thin, low-profile Zildjian A Custom cymbals supply the depth and expression you need to craft a meaningful take, with enough glassiness and projection to rise above a modern drum mix.
Brilliant factory finish
Every Zildjian A Custom cymbal comes buffed to perfection in a beautiful, brilliant finish. This lathing and finishing process promotes a focused attack and a smooth, even decay, along with a look that’ll draw you back to your kit night after night.
