Zildjian A Custom 17-inch Brilliant Crash

General

This is a 17-inch Crash from Zildjian's A Custom series. It's relatively thin, which gives it an average dynamic range and a mid to low pitch. It's not a cutting, brash and aggressive cymbal, but instead it manages to blend in nicely with the rest of the music. Like most A Custom cymbals, it has a relatively small bell.
