I brought this symbol for my son who is an up & coming drummer, my oldest son is a professional drummer & drum teacher, it was on his expert advice that I brought this cymbal. After hearing the A-Custom Ride with his other Zildjian cymbals, I now understand why it was suggested. it sound wonderful & enhances the rest of his other cymbals thus giving him the sound he wants, & giving me the quality of sound needed to record in the studio. A very wise & informed choice. I'm glad I took the advice.

Had originally planned to buy rid and hats for 300/350e each. Went over budget slightly to purchase the 20" Custom Ride and matching Hi-Hats. Glad I did. Worth the extra euros for really good quality cymbals with great tones and rich sound. Good all-rounders that give a quality you'd expect from 500e range cymbals. Ride lacks a little bit of sizzle but makes up for it with great range of sounds. Really solid. Great quality.
