Celebrating 30 years since their original launch, Zildjian has reintroduced an icon in its cymbal lineup: the Z Custom series. Reimagined for today's drummers, the Z Customs deliver explosive, bright, and cutting tones perfect for metal, punk, hard rock, and beyond. Each cymbal in this lineup has been meticulously redesigned to enhance musicality, feel, and durability, ensuring that the legendary Z Custom sound stands strong across any genre. With a brilliant finish and the original star pattern that defined the first Z Customs, these cymbals look as striking as they sound. Leading the pack, the Z Custom Power Crashes hit the hardest of any crash in the Zildjian family, offering unparalleled punch for drummers who demand loud, cutting cymbals that project through any mix. Available in both 16" and 18" sizes, the Power Crashes retain their title as Zildjian's heaviest cymbals, delivering bold, unrestrained sound for endless musical expression.
