Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Replacing the signature sound of the A' Zildjian is never easy given how iconic it is, but the A Custom series establishes itself as a modern and coherent alternative. Developed with the assistance of the iconic drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, these cymbals capture the "Avedis" spirit while making it more contemporary, smoother, and more "recording-ready." Within the Zildjian lineup, the A Custom cymbals position themselves as the refined and current expression of the original A' Zildjian sound, focusing on clarity, balance, and sophistication.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

The Zildjian A Custom cymbals are aimed at intermediate to professional drummers seeking a cymbal that is immediately readable and capable of cutting through a band without aggression. Their versatility makes them particularly comfortable in pop, modern rock, funk, fusion, R&B, worship, as well as session situations where clean definition and natural control are expected. If you play in multiple projects, this is typically a "premium all-rounder" series that remains musical regardless of volume.
