Zildjians A Series has long been considered the standard by which all other cymbals should be measured offering incredible versatility and dynamic range. The 18″ A Series Medium Thin Crash delivers a warm balanced tone with plenty of quick attack with a rich brightness that does not overwhelm the sound of the cymbal. Dynamics are easy to achieve as the cymbal will react well to both softer hits and hard playing.
