Zildjian A Custom Splash Cymbal

The A Custom Splash is fast & colorful with a short crash sound. Very musical.

A Custom cymbals deliver a sophisticated expression of classic Zildjian A Series sounds. They feature thinner weights and radically innovative hammering.

Zildjian Special Effects - The finishing touches
These are probably the last cymbals you will add to your set-up. They produce a unique sound that is ideal for dramatic, explosive accents.

What makes a great Special Effects cymbal?
Since cymbals vibrate to and from the bell, the shapes of Special Effects cymbals should catch the vibrations, creating a unique build-up in the sound.
