Zildjian A0266 16" Avedis Fast Crash
Instant Response with Bright, Musical Energy
The Zildjian A0266 16" Avedis Fast Crash lives up to its name, delivering a strong initial attack followed by an ultra-quick, smooth decay – perfect for drummers who need fast, expressive accents that don’t linger in the mix. Thanks to its thinner, paper-thin weight and newly designed bell, this cymbal opens up immediately, producing a bright, full-bodied sound that blends musicality with fast responsiveness. Ideal for dynamic fills, punchy transitions and colourful embellishments, it fits seamlessly into modern kits across pop, rock, funk, fusion and worship settings.
Soft, Buttery Feel with Professional Versatility
The 16" Fast Crash offers a uniquely soft, "buttery" playing feel, making it extremely sensitive to touch while still delivering excellent projection when played harder. Its traditional finish and classic A-Series lathing preserve the signature Avedis brightness, producing a lively crash that remains controlled and musical. The fast decay prevents wash from building up, ensuring clarity in both live and studio environments.
