Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Derived from the "A" heritage popularized since the 1950s, the A Custom series modernizes the Avedis DNA with a clearer and more sophisticated signature. Developed to offer a contemporary and immediately usable sound, it has established itself as one of the brand's cornerstones, instantly recognizable by its brilliance and premium finish. The 18-inch model sits at the heart of the A Custom crash range, a versatile reference for today's drummers.
Who This Cymbal Is For
Designed for drummers seeking a clear and clean sound, this 18-inch cymbal is perfectly suited for intermediate to advanced/pro levels.
