A Custom ride, clean and defined

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 regular 22" A Custom Ride is categorised as Medium Thin, delivering a very clean, defined sound with deep fundamentals and a gentle wash.

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.

Une lourdeur efficace!
Jean-BaptisteC 01.07.2011
Je suis très satisfait de cette ride, son épaisseur et son poid donne une énorme lourdeur quand on s'en sert de cymbale d'accompagnement ryhtmique comme une crash! Cette cymbale dispose d'une très bonne raisonnance lorsque l'on tape simplement avec l'olive de la baguette. Que ce soit à utilisation frappée ou tapée cette ride apporte un côté acidulé et lourd ce qui donne un rendu assez atmosphérique et prenant! La cloche sonne parfaitement comme je le désirais, claire, nette et précise! La finition est propre et très esthétique, elle est très facile à nettoyer! Tout cela pour dire que cette ride est tout simplement un pur plaisir lorsque l'on joue dessus! Cela serait difficile de m'en passer!

Zildjan 22er Ride..
Lukas Stumpf 20.11.2016
Zu aller erst mal: Wie immer gewohnte super Qualität aus dem Hause Zildjan. Ich hatte sehr lange zwischen dem 22er Medium und dem "normalen" 22er Ride gehadert. Letztendlich habe ich mich für das dünnere 22er A Custom entschieden. Das Becken hat einen tollen Grundton, der sich durchsetzt aber nicht mega penetrant ist. Stilistisch kann man das Teil von Rock bis Pop und sogar die harte Schiene einsetzen. Sogar das ancrashen des Beckens ist gut möglich und man hat ne super Balance zwischen washy und definiertem Sound.

Das brilliant Finish ist natürlich auch ein Hingucker und an sich ist das Becken wie oben bereits erwähnt super verarbeitet. Die Glocke setzt sich extrem gut durch und cuttet sich durch Gitarrenwände locker leicht durch. Live einfach ein sehr gutes Becken - trotz allem, dass ich ein relativ kräftig spielender Drummer bin und das Ride auch relativ laut ist, nicht mehr wegzudenken aus dem Live Set Up. Den Sound des Beckens würde ich in die Ecke "shiny" "bright" und modern einordnen. Das Anspielverhalten ist super und der Rebound des Sticks ist einwandfrei.

Kurz um: Ein super 22er Ride mit dem nötigen Durchsetzungsvermögen, ohne nervend pingend oder dann doch zu verwaschen zu klingen. Die Mischung ist meiner Meinung nach perfekt. Wer ein 22er mit ordentlich Dampf sucht, wird hier fündig!

Kraft och precision!
ykkmeister 01.03.2019
En stabil pjäs som använts både i studio och live med fantastisk respons, svarar lika bra på smekningar som när man dammar på den ordentligt. Cymbalen skär genom likt en kniv i smör. Om man ska klaga på något så är det att den väger en del, men det får man räkna med när köper något i den storleken.
