Zildjian 16" A Medium Crash Cymbal

The Zildjian 16" A Medium Crash delivers a bold, full‑bodied crash sound with the classic brightness and projection that has made A Zildjian cymbals a standard for drummers across generations. Designed for versatility, this medium‑weight crash provides extra cut and presence, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of playing situations.

With its symmetrically hammered construction, the A Medium Crash produces a classic, bright tone that sits comfortably in the mix while still cutting through when needed. The medium weight results in a higher fundamental pitch than thinner crashes, landing squarely in the mid‑range of the A Series lineup. This gives the cymbal added power and projection without sacrificing musicality or control.

Ideal for rock, pop, worship, fusion, and studio use, the 16" A Medium Crash responds confidently to both light and aggressive playing. Whether used as a primary crash or paired with thinner and larger sizes for contrast, it delivers reliable performance and unmistakable Zildjian character.
