• Balanced tone, neither too dark nor too bright
• Cuts through the mix without dominating

Background and Construction

The A Custom series is based on Zildjian's classic A cymbals, but is made using a new hammering technique that makes the cymbals thinner. The series was developed together with drumming legend Vinnie Colaiuta (known for his work with Sting, Frank Zappa, and Chick Corea), tailoring the sound for modern rock and pop contexts.

Sound and Feel

The sound is quick, shimmering, and thin, with a short, crisp crash-like sound and a soft, highly shimmering character. It cuts through nicely in a band setting without overpowering the rest of the kit. A hi-hat built for clarity rather than sheer volume.

Who It's For

A great fit for band players who want a balanced, "sweet" sounding hi-hat that's heard clearly without becoming dominant in the mix.
