    I've owned the 16" K Cst Session for over ten years. I play in a G.B. band that gig's 6x/mo and this cymbal goes on EVERY gig! Some times we play music by Van Halen and AC/DC and sometimes we play music by Patty Cline and George Straight and this cymbal just sounds beautiful every time I hit it. I've owned a lot of cymbals over the years and this one is the single most perfect cymbal.

    Crash provides excellent mix of dynamics and sound perfect for playing in small jazz group. I was influenced by this line because of Steve Gadd, who created the Session series and is one of my favorite drummers too!

  • Nice, Fat, High Sound.

    i got the 16" model a few days ago at a local drum shop of mine, and it's got such a fat, yet bright tone to it. I plan on getting the 18" to accompany my 16". Steve Gadd knows what he wants, and i want it too!

    If you buy the Zildjian K Custom Session Crash cymbal you won't be disappointed. It's an incredible cymbal with a perfect crash noise. It's heavy and perfect with a great overtony and washy stick definition. I highly recommend it and you'll see what I mean if you buy one today.

  • Great cymbal, excellent sound

    I purchased an 18" k custom session crash about a year ago. I was looking for a larger cymbal with a long sustain and a powerful attack. This cymbal has that. Although it might be a little thin for a heavy hitter it meets my needs perfectly. This is one of my favorite cymbals in my kit. I love it.
