Zildjian A Custom 17-inch Fast Crash

General

The Fast Crash offers excellent attack and stick response. Combined with its short sustain, that makes this cymbal very well suited for playing quick accents and punctuating breaks in the music. It's an excellent cymbal for all-round drummers. However, if you primarily play rock, metal or other loud styles of music, then this cymbal might not be the most suitable one, because of its slight weight and small cup. Depending on your style of music and playing, the Fast Crash is a cymbal that you will probably not want to use by itself. However, in combination with another 18-inch or 16-inch crash, for instance, this Fast Crash really comes into its own.

Zildjian A Custom series

The Zildjian A Custom series of cymbals is known for its quick response and its bright sound. A Custom cymbals range from thin to medium weight and feature a brilliant finish. They are manufactured using rotary hammering techniques. While most A Custom models have a relatively small bell, there are a number of models that stand out by bucking that trend. Zildjian A Custom cymbals are suited for various musical styles, making them very popular with all-round drummers.

Cast Bronze

The Zildjian A Custom cymbals are cast from a special bronze alloy, the exact composition of which has been a Zildjian family secret for over 390 years. Although the process of further shaping and fine-tuning the cymbals has been modernised throughout the years, to this day, the craftsmen at Zildjian ensure that these cymbals are still valued highly in the drumming community. They're some of the best cymbals in the world!
