A ZILDJIAN CYMBALS
have been central to the sound of
popular music since their introduction
in the 1930s when they were the
signature sound of Zildjian prior to
their even being called A`s. Over the
decades, their voice has evolved
with the needs of drummers without
ever straying from the bright, clean
and crisp signature sound that has
made A's the ultimate ˝desert island˝
cymbal for players of virtually all
genres. It is A cymbals' versatility
and reliability year after year, and
generation after generation, that
make them an icon in the cymbal
world.

THE A CUSTOM LINE
has been the choice of renowned rock,
metal and fusion drummers since
its introduction in 1991. Recognized
by its striking brilliant finish, the A
Custom`s unique tonal grooves and
lower profiles combine to produce
a smoother, glassier and ˝prettier˝
sounding cymbal with more give
when struck than other cymbals.
It is these qualities that has made
the sound of A Customs particularly
sought after in the studio.
