A complete four-piece setup built entirely at Zildjian's Norwell, MA factory: 14" A Custom Hi-Hats, 16" A Custom Crash, 18" A Custom Crash, and 20" A Custom Medium Ride. The A Custom series uses radical rotary hammering and a brilliant finish to produce a crisp, sweet, sophisticated cymbal sound with a modern edge — everything a working drummer needs in a single box.
$100-$13516" A Thin Crash Cymbal
Zildjian's 16-inch A Thin Crash is hand-hammered and lathed at their Norwell, MA factory, delivering a fast, explosive attack with a quick, clean decay. The thin weight gives it responsive feel and a bright, cutting sound ideal for rock, pop, and fusion drummers who need a sharp, musical accent on demand.
$180-$22014" A New Beat Hi-Hats
Developed with late jazz legend Louie Bellson, the A New Beat Hi-Hat is Zildjian's most versatile hi-hat — machine-hammered and lathed with a traditional wide groove at their Norwell, MA factory. The bottom cymbal is thicker than the top, producing a crisp, authoritative 'chick' on the downstroke and a rich open sizzle when played at half-open, with a pure, bright, expressive voice suited to any style.
