Zildjian A20553 A Custom 15 Inch Hi-Hat Cymbals - Bold, Full-Bodied Projection

The Zildjian A20553 A Custom 15 Inch Hi-Hat Cymbals provide full-bodied sound that is bolder than standard A Custom hi-hats through enhanced projection and presence from larger diameter. These hi-hats deliver the same crisp, rich and colorful sounds associated with the A Custom range while offering increased volume and fuller tone that benefits drummers requiring greater cut-through in loud band situations. The 15-inch diameter creates broader frequency range with enhanced low-end body while maintaining the brilliant clarity essential for clear timekeeping patterns and articulate stick definition.

The A Custom construction provides the brilliant, colorful tone with striking finish that has made this series a professional standard for contemporary music. Hammered grooves in the bottom cymbal rapidly vent air for fast and clear chick sound when closing the hi-hats with the foot pedal. The larger diameter offers louder closed sounds and fuller, more washy open tones compared to smaller hi-hat configurations, making these cymbals particularly valuable for rock, fusion, and any musical context where hi-hats must compete with high-volume guitars and amplification. The increased surface area produces more air movement and harmonic content, creating rich, complex sounds whether played closed for tight patterns or opened for sustained washes. The versatile response characteristics accommodate both aggressive playing requiring maximum projection and subtle work demanding tonal nuance. Professional drummers seeking enhanced hi-hat presence with the crisp, rich, and colorful A Custom sound will find these 15-inch hi-hats provide the expanded capabilities and bold character that distinguish them from standard sizes while maintaining the brilliant finish and quality that define Zildjian's A Custom series.
