So, just to be clear - I have a set of zildjian ‘A’s. The A series are professional quality & sound. They are lathed but not overly shiny (A’ custom are the shiny ones) . Weight wise they are generally not that heavy , which is why I like them (especially the thins) - they are perfect for the smaller gigs - they speak quickly in a pleasant way and don’t overpower you! They work very well with my other ‘A ‘series cymbals .
Very pleased . Thanks
