Zildjian A Custom Medium Crash Cymbal 17"

Zildjian A Custom 17" Medium Crash Cymbal – Bright, Cutting Attack with Studio-Grade Tone

The Zildjian A Custom Medium Crash delivers the bright, articulate sound that defined modern drumming. Its striking brilliant finish and distinctive tonal grooves create a smooth, glassy tone with excellent projection. Built with a lower profile and modern rotary hammering, this cymbal offers a thinner weight that responds with sensitivity while maintaining durability and musicality across all playing dynamics.

As the heaviest option in the A Custom crash lineup, the 17" medium weight produces a sharp, cutting attack with a slightly raised pitch—ideal for cutting through a mix in live settings or capturing clarity in the studio. The large, pronounced bell adds character and sustain, while the cymbal's versatile range makes it equally effective for delicate musical accents or powerful, punchy punctuations. Whether you're playing rock, pop, jazz, or any genre in between, this crash cymbal delivers professional-grade performance.
