A Custom splash, trashier than the rest

The Zildjian A Custom Series is a variation on the iconic A Series – as such, it belongs to one of the most widely played cymbal ranges in the world. Compared with the classic Avedis models, the generally thinner A Custom cymbals offer a brighter, exceptionally clean character. Their tonal qualities are further enhanced by the highly polished Brilliant Finish. The range itself covers a broad spectrum, including hi-hats and rides in various configurations, thin to medium crashes, and a selection of effects cymbals. The perforated EFX models are something of an exception within the range, offering a trashier overall character and providing an interesting alternative to their darker counterparts in the K Series.

Zildjian 10" A Custom EFX Splash

Precisely crafted B20 cymbals

Like all of the manufacturer's current cymbal lines, the Zildjian A Custom Series is produced entirely in the company's own factory in Norwell, Massachusetts. The cymbals are made from B20 bronze, the established standard in the premium segment and an alloy widely associated with a full, warm and complex character. Even more important to the sound of the A Custom Series, however, is the manufacturing process. Highly precise rotary hammering creates broader and flatter hammer marks than those found on the classic A Series. The cymbals are also more noticeably curved, while the lathing pattern adds particularly fine tonal grooves that further extend the upper frequency range. The wholly mechanical production process ensures tonal consistency throughout the series.

A custom all-rounder

As a modern variation of the classic Zildjian A Series, the cymbals of the A Custom range are also extremely versatile premium instruments. Tonally, they lean more towards Rock and Pop, while also enjoying a strong following among Metal drummers. The bright, present character of A Custom cymbals, often described as glassy, is particularly popular in studio environments and excels in modern, powerful productions that demand a pronounced and articulate top end. In this respect, the A Custom Series can be regarded as something of a counterpart to the darker and more complex-sounding K family.

About Zildjian

The Avedis Zildjian company is one of the world's oldest manufacturers of musical instruments. In addition to cymbals and gongs, the Zildjian range also includes drumsticks, percussion mallets, and accessories. The company's history dates back to 1618, when an Armenian, Avedis Zildjian, made his first cymbals from tin, copper, and silver near Constantinople. In the early 20th century, the company moved its headquarters to the United States, where a short time later the era of big bands and Swing music began. Zildjian worked closely with the most famous drummers of that era and over the decades earned an excellent reputation among Jazz drummers. Since Ringo Starr led the way more recently, Zildjian cymbals have also become increasingly popular among Rock drummers, and today the range includes cymbals for every conceivable genre, ranging from affordable entry-level cymbals to handmade models of the very highest quality.

A benchmark for crisp articulation

The Zildjian A Custom Series was developed during the 1990s in collaboration with renowned drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa and many others) with the aim of creating a contemporary variation of the classic A Series. Today, A Custom cymbals are regarded as the benchmark for bright, clean cymbal sounds, making them suitable for virtually any style of music that benefits from a clear presence in the upper frequencies. While a complete A Custom setup is a popular choice, combining A Custom cymbals with other Zildjian series is equally common. One particularly popular approach is to pair A Custom effects with hi-hats and a ride from the classic A Series, creating a warmer overall foundation accented by crisp, articulate crash sounds. More adventurous combinations can also be highly effective when the drummer knows how to make deliberate use of each cymbal's individual musical characteristics.

Beetje teveel decay...
HMFr 12.06.2017
Ik heb deze 10" efx gekocht als alternatief voor een splash en china, de filmpjes op internet en soundlab van Zildjian lieten mij inderdaad een vrij frisse, trashy sound horen. Nu ik hem heb is de decay wat mij betreft iets teveel en naast het trashy geluid hoor ik naar mijn mening toch nog teveel metalen boventonen.

Hoewel het niet precies is wat ik had gedacht blijft het een interessante sound!

Edit: Nu na een maand of 2 bespelen (geen optredens) op een, voor het bekken toch zeer lichte wijze, is het bekken gescheurd op een van de gaten! Veel bekkens gehad, maar dit is echt belachelijk. Ben mij bewust van ophanging, goed onderhoud en gebruik. Daar kan het niet aan liggen... Misschien toch een zwakke plek, die gaten?

Good splash
Anoniem 07.06.2015
The cymbal produces a quiet trashy sound with a very fast decay. I'd rate it a 5./5 in terms of using it as a splash. As the sound is "trashy", it makes a good cheap alternative for a small china symbol. The only problem with this is that as I said it is very quiet and has a very fast decay due to it's size, so if you were to use this as something to crash on then I'd advise get a larger model or my recommendation would be to purchase a Sabian 18" HHX / AAX O-Zone Crash which could be used as a china, crash and splash and is a better symbol all-round, but it does come at a high cost of around £300 however it would last you a long time in comparison to this cymbal. However for a splash this is perfect. This cymbal is durable if you use it as a splash but for crashing it would break in no time.

A-Custom laatua
Mikko5233 16.10.2014
Erinomainen lisä äänipalettiin. Soundi istuu omaan settiini erinomaisesti. Setissä peltejä A-Custom, K ja K-Custom sarjoista.
Ääni on lyhyt, sellainen splash ja trash yhdistelmä. Omanlaisensa, voisi sanoa.
Toimii erinomaisesti aksenttina ja jopa komppipeltinä lyhyissa siirtymissä biisin osien välillä. Oman K-Custom 8" dark splashin kanssa toimii hienosti yhteen.
