Zildjian - Z Custom 20" Crash

The Zildjian Z Custom 20" Crash is aimed at drummers who want a crash capable of producing enormous impact without losing legibility. At 20 inches, the Z Custom Crash has a particularly wide opening, with ample sustain that easily takes up space in the heaviest of situations.

This size gives a more massive feel under the sticks, ideal for powerful playing where every accent must remain audible despite saturated guitars and high volumes. The attack remains brilliant and direct, with the aggressive character typical of Z Custom. The sound is fast, far-reaching and clear enough to avoid the muddled effect often associated with big crashes.

The new-generation Z Custom retains the iconic styling of the original series, with its gloss finish and hammered star pattern. Behind this distinctive look, Zildjian has redesigned the cymbal to make it more pleasant to play and more resistant to intensive live conditions.

In modern metal, hardcore, death metal or hard rock, this crash works just as well to punctuate heavy breaks as it does to support open choruses. It still retains the feeling of immediate power that has been part of the Z Custom identity since the 90s.
