ARTICLE N° 122324
The Zildjian A Custom Crash 20" is one of those cymbals that's instantly recognisable from the first hit. The sound gets going quickly, with a bright, fluid attack that easily cuts through the mix without becoming aggressive. Its large diameter also gives it more breadth and breathing space than a more compact crash, which is very pleasing in live contexts or modern productions.

This model develops the famous A Custom character that studio engineers have been looking for for years: a clear, polished and very balanced sound, with just the right amount of warmth behind the brilliance. Frequencies remain well defined, and the cymbal remains supple under the sticks thanks to its thin weight. As a result, it reacts easily to nuances and opens up quickly without requiring excessive hitting.

In styles like rock, pop, fusion or even some modern metal registers, this crash easily finds its place. It helps to create broad, musical accents without blurring the rest of the kit. Its sustain is controlled and its glassy feel gives it that clean, refined feel typical of A Custom.

Made from B20 alloy with a distinctive gloss finish, this crash benefits from Zildjian's precision work on the profile and tonal grooves. A modern, consistent and highly versatile cymbal for drummers looking for a bright, instantly usable sound.
