Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash
By Brandon Drury | Published  06/23/2006

I'm going to run out and buy a set of these right now. Well.... it's 2am. But soon, I'm going to run out and buy a set of these cymbals right now. For me, in my room, these are the best sounding cymbals I've ever heard. They are not too bright, they are not too harsh, but they are not too dull. They are just right.

I've had cymbals that I thought were great that ended up being a nitemare to mix. I said "Wow! These are bright and clear" just to find out that they sounded like total fake vomit (In my room AT 4033s don't work well with the bright cymbals).

I've had cymbals that I thought were dull and lifeless that ended up being dull and lifeless.

I've had cymbals that I thought were super harsh and just bad sounding. I thought it was my room doing this. It turns out that, as usual, that it was the source. These Zildjian cymbals are incredible in my room.

I can't speak highly enough about this things when recording drums in a tiny room. I am impressed. It's always nice when you've been plagued for years by the same problem and then one day you realize that it's not you. In this case, I've never been happy with my cymbals. Now, I know why. I'm buying these!!!
