    Comments about Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash:

    I love the complete line of Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash cymbals I have a 4 of them on my kit, very versatile cymbal, not to loud for small venues and not overpowering when using overheads microphones. I originally purchased my 17" 6 years ago and just had to repurchase because it had 2 small cracks on the side and eventually a 1 inch chunk feel out. But I beat the heck out of this cymbal and ride it like a heavy metal monster so I'm not complaining and it is a fast crash and those are a bit thinner, but they sound GREAT.

      This is a great crash. It's not cheap, but there are many others out there that cost more. The A Custom Series is a good value and have a nice bright, modern sound

      A Custom Fast Crash

      By The Ronman

      from Orlando

      Comments about Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash:

      The Fast Crash looks pretty frail upon first examination. It's thin and it bends. Don't let that fool you. It will take a beating! I've had my 16" A Custom Fast Crash for 5 or 6 years. It is probably the most abused cymbal on my drum kit. It is hit often and hard. Only 6 months ago did 1mm cracks start appearing on the edge. First, one, then a few, and now, many. Too many. I'm here today to replace it. I have nothing bad to say about this cymbal. It took a beating and probably could take some more, but it is getting flat sounding. I most definitely got my money's worth from this cymbal. I play 4 and 5 sets of Rock 2 nights a week. A hobbyist or a lighter hitter could probably get double the years out of it than I did. As far as the sound, it's an A Custom, it's thin, it sounds fantastic! Once you get over how thin it is, you will never be sorry you bought it once you hear it.

      18" A custom fast crash- AWESOME

      By Masen Smith

      from Undisclosed

      Comments about Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash:

      I love the whole A custom line, either the best or one of the best anywhere.
      you get what you ask for. No more, no less, which is an awesome cymbal
      the sound really bites. It can be played at virtually any volume, and I don't expect it to even scratch for a long time ( I'm a hard hitter)
      it is a tad expensive, but its really worth it.

      Great Cymbal

      By Erik Nylander

      from Arab, AL

      Comments about Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash:

      I got this cymbal probably around a year and a half ago I suppose. It sounded really nice in the music store, so i bought it. It didn't project very well, but it really grew on me. I use it as my main crash now, and I love it. It is great for choking also becuase right when you choke it, the sound stops completely. Great quality and price; thanks Zildjian.

      decent crash

      By der_trommler23

      from rapid city, SD

      Comments about Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash:

      I love the bright, buttery sound of this little crash. It has a nice quick attack and pretty much lives up to its name...."fast crash". It really blends well with any other a custom and adds a new brighter sound to your arsenal. I had one dissapointment tho....this crash doesn't put out a ton of volume during live performances. The sound in the studio is great but u just don't get the volume u need to keep up with full stack amps. but a Great buy for the price!

      fantastic

      Comments about Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash:

      nothing else can describe this cymbal. i have the 16 and the 18, they blend well together and fit into anything. ive had the 16 since may and it projects very well and i got the 18 yesterday and im certain it to will project well if not better than the 16, it has a little more body to it. both are great for accents and full bodied rides. i know that websites say that the sound of their products is inspiring, but ive actually been inspired by the sound of these bad boys. i reccomend this to anyone for any style.
