Tuned set, consisting of:
The A-Custom Professional Prom Set from the renowned manufacturer Zildjian is designed to provide a bright sound that can be used to impressive effect in many different styles. Zildjian uses computer-aided production processes to ensure that each cymbal is made with the utmost precision, and the appealing high-gloss finish, the hammer indentations, and the fine lathing patterns give the cymbals, which are made from high-quality B20 bronze (an alloy of 80% copper and 20% tin), an extravagant look. The A-Custom Cymbal Set includes a 14" A-Custom hi-hat, 16" and 18" A-Custom crashes, and a 20" A-Custom medium ride.
All of the cymbals in the Zildjian A-Custom Professional Prom Set have a bright tonal character with both a quick response and high resolution. The hi-hat offers an appealing balance between clear stick and solid "chick" sound, while the crash cymbals have a clean, relatively short sustain and will easily cut through the mix. The ride, on the other hand, has a medium sustain and a pronounced "ping". Drummers looking for modern sounds with the dark, dirty basic character commonly referred to as "trash" would be better advised to look elsewhere, however, since the A-Custom cymbals are characterised by a clean, unobtrusive sound that goes much more in the "classic" direction.
Anyone who cannot identify with the modern trash sound and is instead looking for more classic-sounding cymbals can opt for the Zildjian A-Custom Professional Prom Set with complete confidence. The bright, extremely balanced character of the A-Custom cymbals ensures a clear sound that is versatile enough for a range of genres, so the set is by no means explicitly confined to any one style. In addition, the cymbal set offers an enormous price advantage compared to cymbals purchased individually, so users who have always been waiting for the right opportunity to buy professional A-Custom cymbals at a comparatively low price should definitely consider the Zildjian A-Custom Professional Prom Set.
The Avedis Zildjian company is one of the world's oldest manufacturers of musical instruments. In addition to cymbals and gongs, the Zildjian range also includes drumsticks, percussion mallets, and accessories. The company's history dates back to 1618, when an Armenian, Avedis Zildjian, made his first cymbals from tin, copper, and silver near Constantinople. In the early 20th century, the company moved its headquarters to the United States, where a short time later the era of big bands and Swing music began. Zildjian worked closely with the most famous drummers of that era and over the decades earned an excellent reputation among Jazz drummers. Since Ringo Starr led the way more recently, Zildjian cymbals have also become increasingly popular among Rock drummers, and today the range includes cymbals for every conceivable genre, ranging from affordable entry-level cymbals to handmade models of the very highest quality.
The versatile bronze plates from Zildjian's A-Custom series are sure to impress in terms of sound, workmanship, and appearance. The series includes a wide selection of different cymbal types in different sizes, some of which are also available as preconfigured sets, so users can subsequently expand the A-Custom Professional cymbal set with other matching hi-hat, crash, or ride cymbal models, or they can opt for one of the many effect cymbals in order to be able to set special accents. In addition to splash and china cymbals in various sizes, the series includes particularly thin A-Custom EFX cymbals with an extremely dry sound that blends in seamlessly.
