Zildjian AA19C Avedis 19" Crash
Vintage Tone with a Played-In Feel
The Zildjian AA19C Avedis 19" Crash recreates the warm, loose and expressive sound of 1950s A-series cymbals, delivering a beautifully musical voice with a blend of bright and dark overtones. Designed with a thin, played-in character, each cymbal is unique, featuring hand-applied patina, vintage-style lathing, and authentic details such as the small Avedis signature and hollow Zildjian logo. A broad weight variation (1.47kg-1.59kg) gives each cymbal its own personality, allowing drummers to choose a model that truly "speaks" to them.
Warm, Expressive & Traditionally Crafted
Part of the revered A Avedis series, this crash offers a smooth response, warm sustain and controlled dynamics, ideal for drummers seeking classic musicality with modern reliability. Its patina finish adds both warmth and a convincingly vintage aesthetic. Crafted in the USA using vintage-style lathing and ageing processes, the AA19C delivers an authentic crash sound that sits effortlessly in jazz, blues, singer-songwriter, vintage rock and studio settings.
