ive got the 13" hats, 20" ride (i use as a crash), 16" fast crash,17" rezo crash, then a k hybrid splash, a series sweet ride, a series splash..........1 word about my cymbals....i love 'em, ok that was 3, but it took time lots of trading and saving, i love em, they all blend together so nicely
@BattlingPancake people just get the zbts for the looks and the price. and if you buy the zbts before the caste cymbals, like have em be you very first cymbals then ud think they sound good. then just get avedis or a customs or ks and k customs and ur mind will be blown away
Yeah I got to admit that china sucks. I love the rest of the A Customs though. I recomend to fet a Zildjian fx oriental china trash. I had an 18" and it was by far the best china I have ever had. Matt greiner uses them sometime, and the reason I got sold on them :)
This video does not do these cymbals justice at all. I own the 18" China, 16" Crash and the 20" Ride and they sound alot crisper than the ones on this video.
@kyledave14 you gotta get the mastersound high hats. you look the same when ur playing em but the bottom hat has grooves on the edges. big difference in the sound
For people selling cymbals, shouldn't you know that tightening the wing nut as tight as y'all have it will crack the cymbals and really choke the sound of the cymbal?....o.O
@Sphincterrific easy. the XS20s are budget cymbals, the A Customs are cast bronze zildjians. absolutely no competition. plus the zildjians will sound better the more you play them, be with more and last longer. if you have the funds, the A customs are so the way to go.
These cymbals are Sooo beautiful... My dad bought me a set and they sound so great and pure, in the studio and live. I guarantee that they sound Wayyy better in person.
@spikeman23 why? everyone has different preferences in china sound and even though the zbt may be lower quality, some people might like that sound. don't be so ignorant next time
@wreckingball28 not all the time. a's and k's can break just as fast as zbt's, it depends on who's hitting it, and the technique used. even though they're 'scap metal' to you, they can sound great to someone else.
@FAILMOUSE you ca'nt be more right dude. Sound like shit. Best Zildjian China is not so Expensive, in my opinion it is 18" ZXT Total China. Sound Really Cool even while recording.
Im about to buy a 17 in crash (A custom) but im not sure witch to get, the projection crash or the regular a custom crash, which would you prefer, and which would hold up better. please get back to me about this no one has yet.
I <3 my 18" projection crash
