Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Reintroduced in 2024, 30 years after the series' creation and following a 15-year absence, the Z Custom returns to satisfy drummers seeking power and clarity on modern stages. Historically designed for high-volume setups, it is positioned as a performance-oriented cymbal, above the brand's versatile series, with a more aggressive character and a decibel reserve tailored for rock and metal.

Who This Cymbal Is For

The Z Custom 20" is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers who play loud and seek a sharp, clear, and articulate crash. It excels in metal, hard rock, modern rock, metalcore, and prog contexts, both live and in rehearsal. Rock studio drummers will appreciate its consistency and ability to cut through the mix without saturating.
