Frequently Asked Questions

The A-Custom is slightly warmer and more controlled than the standard A series, offering a more refined and less 'aggressive' sound, but still retains that characteristic Zildjian brilliance.
Yes, its balanced sound and moderate volume make it blend well in a wide range of cymbal setups, from small jazz kits to larger rock configurations.
The brilliant finish is susceptible to tarnishing, like all lacquered cymbals, but regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner will keep it looking its best; it's not as durable as a darker finish.
