Let's discuss the differences in characteristics in build and sounds so you can better choose any Zildjian Cymbal. For this demonstration, we're going to look at a three different 16 inch crashes that cover a wide range of sounds from Zildjian. And of course we'll have a ton of sound samples. In this video I'll be doing an in-depth product review of three 3 of these lines to help show the differences: * 16 inch A Medium Thin Crash Cymbal: amzn.to/41TdYbG * 16 inch K Custom Dark Crash Cymbal: amzn.to/3RIc9tt * 16 inch K Custom Special Dry Crash Cymbal: amzn.to/48bvxVD *If you purchase through the above links, I'll make a tiny commission. That'll make me super happy, as I could buy more drums!*
Love them all man! The special dry could almost pass for a China but I would happily use any of these cymbals. I can never forget going to music stores in the early 80's when I was just starting and gazing with awe at the beautiful Paistes and Zildjians that I couldn't afford then gradually building up my own set. Nowadays it seems that the young guys who've been playing for about a fortnight have a full set of Mastersounds or Ks 😂! Have just never lost my appreciation and really enjoyed the vid, thank you 😂👍
The 16" A Medium Thin was one of the first crashes I ever bought. I've had it for 40 years. It ALWAYS goes with me to gigs. I love the shimmer sound it produces. It's great for crashing as well as riding. I've used it for jazz, rock, alternative, top 40, blues... EVERYTHING. It's great with dynamics. My go to cymbal. It's paired well with the 17" A Custom, 17" K Medium Thin and 18" K Thin I've paired with it.
Out of those cymbals the K Custom Dark sounded best to my ears. That said I personally hate 16” crash cymbals. I am a rock drummer but I prefer thin dark crash cymbals 18” and larger.
hope u understand 2 pick and match cymbals in a set by size and most important gram weight is how u tune cymbals, my set up is i have the lightest weight in every size to separate my self from all of u that will play medium and heavy cymbals, all yours sound good there also a lot of crashes its personal still put them all on the scale
Let's be honest here: Everyone here has a 16" crash because it was in their cymbal pack. Nobody has ever asked me to borrow a 16" crash. 10" splashes, hihats, 18, 19, 20 crashes, rides at least once a month. Nobody needs a 16" crash. And that's a fact.
Sorry to disagree, but 16" is probably my primary sized crash, granted I keep 4 sizes of crashes on my kit. Some people subscribe to the larger crashes, but that's not everyone.
16” cymbals suck! That is why I never buy cymbal packs. I believe cymbal manufacturers always include 16” cymbals in Cymbal Packs because individually they do not sell well. The sound of a 16” cymbal is irritating to me.

Thank you sir! : )
I like the A crash best of these three

I see we both like similar cymbals for 17" : ) But yeah, that A medium thin is a workhorse.

@7.14 The drumming starts, first half is blurb.

One of my favourite crash cymbals ever was a zultan Caz 16. Tastes and suits

Hey can you talk some more?
