DMD, I have A Custom crashes - a 16", and an 18" Fast Crash - and I love those cymbals. I agree that they a perfect for a wide variety of music. Never really liked the sound of the A Custom ride though.

I have 13" A Custom Mastersound hats, and I can safely say they're the best sounding hats I have heard or played. My school has a 16" crash. Its beautiful sounding but wouldn't work for my playing style outside of jazz.

Just bought an A Custom 18" medium crash and I love it.
Also have the A Custom High Hats. Next up is the 19" Crash. Can't Wait.
I sleep with my sticks.
A custom's are realy nice cymbals for all kind of music. I have a 16" crash which is realy good.
But... i play rock music and i prefer the Avedis serie, specialy when i play in small concerts without microphones
Keep On Drumming
I have A Customs all around and I love them. I play ride patterns and 1/4 notes on my crash cymbals all the time, and they have just the perfect amount of wash to sound great doing that sort of thing without having ugly undertones or low-end ring. It is true they aren't dark, they are bright and shimmery. I actually think they are perfect for heavy rock...

I too have some A customs. They are my favorite line from Zildjian. I have two 20" rides a ping and a projection. I use both the projection on my right side and the ping on the left. they are all around great cymbals I have been debating about getting some additional A's. I was gonna get a crash but instead settled on a Meinl B20 medium crash what a nice cymbal and it goes perfectly with my A's. I'm also considering adding some custom A Hats. Right now I'm using Some Sabian AAX as my main HH and a pair of new beats as my auxilary ones. I have a remote HH on my right side If I get the A's I'll use them as my mains and move the Sabians to the Aux position.

I love the crashes. The 17 and 19 just sound so BIG. The Splash is a lovely addition too, sounds great when choked quickly in the middle of a groove or near the end of a fill. Overall I've got no complaints with this line of cymbals. They even look gorgeous :-P

I only have one A custom symbol and it is a 17in. crash. the rest of mine are zbts and zxts, but The A custom is by far my favorite!! i love the sound it creates and i love playing it!
My current line up consists of all A's and I was thinking about going to K's but after playing on a friend's set who has all custom A's I've changed my mind and will be switching my A's for custom A's. They sound and looks great but don't have as much dark afterwash that the K's do. I haven't had a chance to try out the custom K's but I'm planning a trip to Austin to see if I can find any. I have found that unless you go to a store that sells nothing but percussion all your going to find is the top of the line or the bottom of the line cymbals with afew midway cymbals here and there and unless your a beginner why buy a box set.
Your comment about the box set is a good one. I would always shy away from box sets because it is too easy for a company to put clinkers in there, you know cymbals that people wouldn't pick out individually because they wouldn't stack up sound wise to an identical cymbal hit in a side by side comparison. But if placed in a box set they could easily be sold and perhaps the consumer that bought them would not be sophisticated enough to notice. I don't know that, that happens, but I would suspect that it does.
i have a 14 fast crash
15 crash
16 crash
17 crash
+ 14 hi hat
and a medium ride 20
