Favorite All-Around 16 In. Crash

[crazydrummer]

Just wondering what the opinions were if you had to choose 1 16 in. crash to play with in a contemporary environment. Maybe offer two choices. I LOVE my 16 in. Zildjian Vintage Crash.

I Actually Use Da Bottom Of An Old 60's 15" Zildian Hihat (upside Down)above My Closed Hats On Right Hand Side,,,,best All Purpose Crash/ride I've Ever Used....I Have An Old 16" Zildjian Band Cymbal (bought In Pawn Shop Indianapolis Indiana For $20 In 1972 )thats Great For Big Band Swing Too!!!

Hmmm....
All-Around Cymbal huh ??
Guess A Custom medium crash is count in.....

The good old 16 in' A zildjian crash is probably the best for everything

a K custom dark crash, i hope to get an 18" and a 16" soon

I listened to a lot of cymbals before I settled on the Zildjian A Customs for my crashes. I have a 16" and an 18" Fast Crash. These sound best to my ears when I want a crash sound.

A customs are definitely nice...i love them...

I have all A customs as well. They are very nice sounding cymbals both recorded and live.

My favorite 16 in crash is my newly acquired Istanbul Agop 16" Dark Crash. Probably not what most would consider an all around cymbal, most would probably want something a little brighter. Our drummer in the big band I'm with plays Zildian Avedis Cybals and his 16" crash sounds pretty great. So given the qualification of all around cymbal I would have to say the 16" Avedis Zildian would be my favorite.

Avedis Zildjian sounds great, but I think it just suitable for Punk and Rock genres....
Different from A Custom that suitable for almost off all modern music nowadays....
