Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Replacing the immediately recognizable sound of the A Zildjian family cymbals is not simple: it is a historic reference for generations of drummers. The A Custom series positions itself as a modern and deliberate alternative, designed to preserve the "Avedis" DNA while bringing more finesse, control, and definition in contemporary contexts. Developed with the assistance of the iconic drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, they represent a more sophisticated expression of the original sound, with a decidedly contemporary approach both in touch and projection.
Who This Cymbal Is For
The Zildjian A Custom cymbals are aimed at drummers seeking a versatile, clear, and modern cymbal without falling into extreme sonic territories. They are particularly suitable for intermediate to expert levels: inspiring and nuanced enough for dynamic work, and sufficiently "plug and play" to be effective in rehearsals as well as on stage. Their tonal balance makes them very comfortable in current music styles : pop, modern rock, funk, fusion, RnB, gospel, variety, but also in the studio when a controlled presence and clean articulation are desired.
