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. Its quick opening and articulation make it formidable in pop, rock, fusion, and modern metal, while remaining musical enough for more subdued contexts. It integrates easily into an A Custom set and pairs very well with darker models to broaden the palette.

The 18" A custom symbol is excellent! It goes very well with a 19" (right or left) as well as a 16"A custom. the 16" has a warm and short sound but with good projection anyway.The 17" and the 19" are shinier. The longer the diameter, the longer the diameter, the longer the diameter, the more sustain, the more volume, the more sustain and loudness there is. This range is great you can play anything (I personally play heavy metal) .If so is the case for You, choose the hi hat master sound 14" A custom of course.I also have fast crashes for a more flexible game.
