I play Z customs and yes they cut through loud music. The power ride I had to set to the side though. Way too loud. I mix Z's and A's and it makes for a good combo. Peace on ya!

i bought an entire set of Z's a long time ago... 17 & 18 rock crashes, 14 dino-beat hats and a mega bell ride.

i didn't care for any of them.

especially the dino-beats. they were really 'chikky' and didn't sound very good when played open and the mega bell ride sounded like you were playing a thick chunk of scrap metal if it was played anywhere besides the bell.

i don't remember a lot about the crashes aside from being glad to get rid of them.

i did once have a mega bell ride, when i played rock. they sort of suck, but Zs do cut through loud music very well.

From what I've heard, the Z Customs are bright and cutting enough to penetrate loud rock. Not my sound, but yeah, they'll cut through.

Z customs are good to cut through jet engines.

Yeah they penetrate loud music but that's all they do. There's no mid-volume or dynamics to them at all. Plus they don't last, because the only way to get them to open up is to give them a good thrashing - no Z I've ever owned has lasted more than about 9 months, and this isn't down to playing them wrong or anything like that.

I've had my Z customs for 3 years and i'm not a light hitter. Might check your technique. P.O.Y!

Nope. They break because you have to thrash them to make them make a sound. A shit sound.

As stated before many times people have opinions. I can't recall anyone ever saying that my cymbals sound like shit live or recorded. Hmmm! Wonder why? P.O.Y.

Me neither. Must be something he's doing.

Well, I can say at least with A Customs no matter how I hit them I get a wonderful crash sound. I just love the warm undertones they give.

Honestly the Z Customs might have a lot of high end crash to them, but to my ear it sounds like sh*t without the undertones. It's like a ZBT or Camber cymbal that just happens to be cast instead of sheet.
