The heaviest weight of all the A Customs crashes, the Medium Crashes have a cutting attack with a high pitched cymbal sound, yet shimmer with the brilliance and musicality that has come to define this modern range of cymbals. Featuring an all-brilliant finish and a heavier weight, the A Custom Medium Crashes have the range to offer cymbal sounds from light, musical accents to loud, cutting punctuations.

Louder, brighter A Custom crash cymbal sound with medium decay
Brad Baker, V.P. - Chief Marketing Officer, commented, "A Custom Medium Crashes offer a louder, brighter A Custom crash cymbal sound with medium decay to wonderfully compliment and augment any existing cymbal setup or to build the foundation for a new cymbal sound palette. Now drummers can utilize the A Custom sound in nearly any playing situation, regardless of volume."

Not too dark, not too bright - cymbals that are just right for modern music.

"Fantastic" by Chris - 12/27/2005 8:09:11 AM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: heaps Punk Australia 63 people out of 109 found this review helpful I brought the 16 inch not too long ago and I would have to say that it is one of the best I have owned. I also brought the 16 z rock but the a custom sounds a lot more deeper and not as tinny. It is loud when it wants to be but I think it is good just when you hit it medium rather then hard as you need to with the z's. An overall cymbal that suits most styles. Leans more towards the rock rather then your softer type. Go for the straight a's or K's if your into that. Was this review useful? "Should have gotten a thinner crash" by lordplayer - 6/7/2005 9:10:45 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: hs band director funk, jazz, rock, latin Minnesota, USA 45 people out of 86 found this review helpful I bought a 20" A custom ride and a 16" A custom crash. I was so pleased with them that I added a 18" Medium Crash to the collection. I am a little disappointed in the purchase. Not because its a bad cymbal, but its for all purposes an 18" ride. To actually get a crash cymbal out of it you really gotta hit it hard and then its deafening. Was this review useful?
