Sound Quality
:
10
My ears perceived it very sustaining.
Full and rich in sound - covers all frequency from that cutting brilliance to the remarkable jazzy, bass.
Also, it is very loud. It is possible to be used as a small crash.
It's got that nostalgic traditional Zildjian sound.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
A sturdy cymbal.
I have not actually tested it for any gigs but when I was testing this out, the shop staff and I hit it as hard as we could and didn't leave it with a single scratch.
Customer Support

It came with a year warranty. I believe that this is not covering the finish.
The staff loved this cymbal, as well.
Overall Rating
:
9
Yeah, it's cool. Everyone loves it...even Rob Bourdon from Linkin Park uses it!
If this cymbal gets stolen, I would not be quite sure of buying it again, because I was comparing it to Sabian AAX 10" splash and that had a very high pitched sound that I was looking for but the sound just died too quickly. It simply didn't have the sustain Custom A had.
