Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Handcrafted in Turkey at Uzunköprü, the Agean Custom belongs to the great tradition of Turkish cymbals, renowned for their old-school production methods and hand-finished details. Within the Agean lineup, the Custom series is positioned as a highly versatile option: it aims to offer a balance between artisanal character and ease of integration, whether you play an acoustic drum kit in the studio, rehearsal, or on stage.
Who This Drum/Cymbal Is For
The Custom Crash Thin 20-inch is designed for both the intermediate drummer seeking an expressive crash that's easy to bring to life, and the advanced musician who wants a large cymbal capable of filling the space without becoming overwhelming. Its "thin" profile promotes immediate response and comfortable dynamics, ideal for pop, rock, indie, funk, fusion, and live contexts where a wide but controllable opening is needed.
Features and Innovations
This crash highlights traditional manufacturing combined with hand hammering, two key elements to achieve a cymbal that is both responsive and nuanced. The 20-inch size provides a sense of sonic breadth, while the "thin" thickness helps trigger the attack quickly, even at low volume. The result: a cymbal with generous dynamics, capable of moving from a light, silky crash to a more pronounced opening when struck harder.
Sound Characteristics
Thanks to the Bronze B20 alloy, this crash combines a natural warmth in the midrange with solid projection and present highs without excessive harshness. The hand hammering adds a more "organic" spectrum: the cymbal produces a complex crash, with slight texture and a sense of movement in the sustain.
At 20 inches and in the "thin" version, the response is generally quick with a wide opening and a sustain capable of carrying, while remaining adjustable depending on the stroke. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for a crash that fills the space and blends easily with toms and snare without masking the detail of your playing.
