What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


A Customs are just right for modern music





It's tough to top the unmistakable and reliable sound of A Zildjians for almost any playing situation, but the award-winning A Customs are an irresistible alternative. Developed with the assistance of drumming icon Vinnie Colaiuta, A Customs utilize radical rotary hammering techniques, thin to medium weights, and a striking brilliant finish for a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound. Not too dark, not too bright ? cymbals that are just right for modern music.





Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection





A Customs, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.





Serious drummers rely on Zildjian





With Zildjian cymbals, you're in good company. It's the sound powering the top end of countless hit records, the shimmering sheen on the kits of the rhythm-keeping elite. From Steve Gadd and Dennis Chambers to Dave Grohl and Lars Ulrich (and quite a few of us here at Sweetwater), top drummers rely on Zildjian ? you can too.
