Description
Zildjian 20" A Custom Crash
Recognized by their striking brilliant finish, A Custom Crashes feature unique tonal grooves and lower profiles that produce a smoother, glassier, and brighter sound with more give when struck — one of the most in-demand crash cymbal sounds for both studio and live settings. This 20" model weighs approximately 2000g in Zildjian's Thin weight class.
How the 20" Sounds
The biggest and boldest in the line, with a Medium/Dark voice, low/medium pitch, and a large bell — a genuine "beast" of a crash built for heavier rock and metal settings.
