Different moments may call for different cymbal sounds -so its best to have a variety of flavors. I have custom A's, custom Z's, and Sweet K's.I use the K's for short splashy crashes, where you want the nice crash w/o the sustained ring. I use my custom A's as sequence finishers -where a little bit of a sustained ring is desired. My Z's are used aggressively as crash rides in those moments where I need to cut through or just want to lay-in on the cymbals to grind out an emotion.But back to the Custom A's, the best sounding (& looking) crash cymbals I've ever owned. Custom A ride cymbals may be a different story. We don't have to talk about that as this review is for a 17" Custom A crash cymbal.
