Amazingly versatile Zildjian cymbal

This 19'' A crash is a cymbal where the true craftsmanship of Zildjian shows. As of now, I still haven' t found a genre that this cymbal is not compatible with. The smoothness of the traditional finish sound and the wide volume range makes it unique. It could be used as a jazz ride as well as a heavy metal crash. That about describes the insane versatility of this thing. A total asset to any drum set-up.
