A classic sound, but refined

It's tough to top the unmistakable and reliable sound of A Zildjians for almost any playing situation, but the award-winning cymbals included in this A Custom Box Set are an irresistible alternative. Developed with the assistance of drumming icon Vinnie Colaiuta, A Customs utilize radical rotary hammering techniques, thin to medium weights, and a striking brilliant finish for a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound. Not too dark, not too bright — this A Custom Box Set gives you the sound that's just right for modern music.

Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection

Like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, the cymbals in this A Custom Box Set are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. These A Custom Box Set cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.

Serious drummers rely on Zildjian

With Zildjian A Custom Box Set cymbals, you're in good company. Zildjian cymbals power the top end of countless hit records. They provide the shimmering sheen on the kits of the rhythm-keeping elite. From Steve Gadd and Dennis Chambers to Dave Grohl and Lars Ulrich, top drummers rely on Zildjian. You can, too (affordably), with the Zildjian A Custom Box Set.

Zildjian A Custom Box Set Cymbal Pack Features:
  • A complete set of quality cast cymbals for a killer package price
  • Cymbals made from Zildjian's secret alloy for added projection and warmth
  • The perfect balance between low-end warmth and high-end sweetness
  • Set includes 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash, and a 20" ride
  • Includes bonus 18" A Custom crash for added value

Finally Got The Cymbals I've Always Wanted

I have been playing since I was 10 (about 25 years) and I have wanted this cymbal pack since the first day I walked into my local music store and banged around on cymbals. I finally pulled the trigger and I am not dissapointed in the slightest. The one thing that has surprised me most is the how smooth the cymbals feel when I strike them compared to all the other cymbals I have played in the past (always Zildjian. Z series the S Series). They compliment each other well and each songs great on its own. I wanted to get a 10 inch splash to replace my 15 year old Z series splash but they were out of stick. I'll grab one soon enough. As a side note, I already had a 19 in K Constantinople crash/ride and these pair extremely well with it. If you are reading these reviews I'm betting you are willing to spend the money. Just do it. You won't regret it. Promise.

Pro quality

Zero disappointment. A perfect complement to any drum kit.

Because Zildjian

If you're looking at this pack, you're probably already a Zildjian player, you know the quality. These are no different: The finish is bright and beautiful, to match the tones these babies produce. The crashes get out of the way fast, the bell on the ride has a nice "ping" to it and the Hi hats are nice and chicky. WAY cheaper than buying individual cymbals, and these just play SO well together. I've been playing the same 70s era Zildjian cymbals for 25 years, and these are the stark difference in sound I was looking for. Save the money; Spend the money.

Second to none!

This pack is not only affordable but wow they sound good! I was worried at first that the 16" wouldn't be powerful enough but was completely surprised that it was after the first hit. The brilliant finish is absolutely amazing. Only drawback is if you don't use gloves the fingerprints can get out of hand, but that's what your Zildjian polish is for

A custom ++

Unbelievable sound … !! There bright n warm at the same time… depending on ur stick control hard or light crashing , u see why many pros use them.. and there a beautifully made cymbal… thx u Zildjian
Music background: Playing drums since elementary school

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
