Frequently Asked Questions
The A-Custom alloy is slightly brighter and more responsive, but lacks the complexity and sustain of the flagship A series cymbals.
While it *can* be used, its bright and short sustain won't provide the wash or dark character often preferred in heavier genres; it'll sound thin.
It's reasonably durable for a thin splash, but requires more care than the thicker, more robust K or A series cymbals; avoid excessive hammering.
