Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Born in the early 1990s, the Zildjian "A Custom" continue the Avedis legacy by adapting it to the demands of contemporary productions. Designed with the iconic Vinnie Colaiuta, they sit between the "A Avedis" (classic versatile) and the "K Custom" (darker and more complex). Their mission: to offer the Avedis sound but with more finesse, brightness, and consistency in all modern contexts.
Who This Instrument Is For
The "A Custom" cymbals are suitable for intermediate to professional drummers seeking a responsive, clean cymbal that is easy to place in a mix. They excel in pop, rock, funk, fusion, gospel, and most contemporary music styles, both in the studio and on stage, thanks to their clear articulation and controlled sustain.
