Re: Cymbal Suggestions
Picked up some new Zildjian A's last year (the new thinner redesigned series). They're way different from the previous generation A's. Much thinner, still bright but a bit more mellow, not as gongy, with a softer feel. The Medium-Thins have a fuller sound than the Thins, which is to be expected. The Thin A's are pretty darn thin and sound like it. Since I got those I've tried some other cymbals and I keep going back to the Z A's. Absolutely love them. Fantastic all-around-use cymbals. If you're playing pop and rock (and country) they're perfect. If you haven't heard them, you need to try them out. I think you'll find them bright but not as bright and glassy as A Customs. Not harsh at all. Good dynamic range - you can get a variety sounds out of them.
