A Customs are prized for their clarity and contemporary character, and this Medium Ride is no exception – balancing projection, warmth, and articulate playability.
Clean Stick Definition with Warm, Colourful Undertones
Designed with a medium-thin profile and lower-profile shape, the A Custom Medium Ride responds with a clear, crisp stick sound while still providing enough wash to keep grooves full and musical. The cymbal opens up beautifully without becoming overpowering, and its bright bell tone cuts cleanly through mixes.
