Zildjian 19" A-Custom Crash

I use the zildjian 19" A-Custom Crash that I bought from Thomann on the right hand side of my kit so most of the time I'm laying in to it fairly hard Its definitely my main Crash cymbal and it has not crack or dented witch is awesome.
I play a lot of Rock and Hard Rock Music. Before that I had been using a Zildjian 20" A-Custom EFX Crash but it had cracked and dented on me so I switched to this one. The cymbal has a a very clear, defining, explosive and cutting sound to it witch I really like about it it is the perfect Crash for me and I'm sure a lot of other people will love it too. I usually give pros and cons on different reviews I make but as you can see mentioned a lot of Pros but I can honestly can say that there are no cons to this cymbal. As one of my first Zildjian cymbals I am very satisfied with this Crash cymbal, as always Zildjian are the best always reliable.
I absolutely love the Zildjian 19" A-Custom Crash, I can definitely fully recommend it.

And as a long time loyal customer from Thomann as always absolutely excellent customer service from Thomann and definitely well packaged, your cymbal is not gonna be one bit damaged if buy from Thomann.

I wanted a crash with a full sound that can cut through the mix in songs with heavy guitars and loud open hi-hats and that's what I got.

This crash has the typical crash sound, nothing fancy and special about it, but it is very well balanced and fills the mix just where you need it. I would say it is more on the low-end side, but has just enough highs. It is also pretty loud, which is what I was looking for recording-wise, but in a rehearsal it can get uncomfortable so I recommend ear protection.

Compared to the 20'' A-custom crash, it lacks a bit of the lows and mids but it is great if you are using the 19'' for smaller accents and the 20'' or both the cymbals for huge accents like the beginning of the song or the chorus. Another great thing about this crash is that you can hit it hard or hit it soft and it will sound great in both instances.

Conclusion: if you are looking for a loud crash which is great in studio this is the crash for you... of course if you have the money, it is definitely on the pricey side.

Ich habe mein erstes 19" A Custom in 2009 bekommen. Ich habe es zu meiner Rechten stehen gehabt (neben dem Ride), also hat es über die Jahre schon ein paar Schläge abbekommen. Vor eineinhalb Jahren war es dann so weit. Es begann Löcher zu bekommen. Und ja, ich meine Löcher! Um das Logo herum hat sich das Becken quasi aufgelöst. Sowas habe ich noch nicht gesehen! Dafür hat es keine Risse am Rand bekommen (verrückt sowas). Umtausch und Garantie waren selbstverständlich nicht mehr drin. Deshalb musste etwas neues her. Ich habe (aus Kostengründen) mich erstmal in anderen Lagern (Istanbul Agop Xist Crash), aber das hat mich absolut nicht überzeugt. Zu schwerfällig im Klang, schwingt nicht vernünftig nach etc.. Ich war natürlich noch verwöhnt von meinem alten A Custom Crash und genau deshalb habe ich das Geld dann doch in die Hände genommen und mir dieses Schmuckstück zugelegt. Für mich ist es der perfekte Klang. Sclägt man es leicht an, bekommt man einen warmen Sound, bei dem der Sustain genau richtig ist. Schlägt man es jedoch hart an (wie ich in den meisten Fällen) entfaltet sich der wahnsinnig gute Sound dieses Beckens. Spritzig, laut, durchsetzungsstark und definiert! Es gibt für mich nichts, was hier dran kommt!
