Responsive yet Controlled Sound

The Zildjian 24" K Series Light Ride cymbal offers a responsive, nuanced tone thanks to its medium-thin, hand-hammered bronze construction. The small bell focuses the cymbal's sound while providing clear stick articulation. Drummers can coax a wide range of sounds from soft, breathy washes to louder crashes. The Light Ride cuts through amplified music but remains balanced and controlled.

Versatile for Any Style

Equally at home in jazz, rock, funk, or pop settings, the Zildjian 24" K Series Light Ride provides subtlety and shimmer for any genre. Its expressive, articulate voice allows drummers to punctuate phrases or provide rhythmic motion. The Light Ride's controlled spread and balanced tone mesh well with other cymbals in any combination.

Legendary K Series Sound

The Zildjian 24" K Series Light Ride continues the company's legacy of handcrafted cymbals made with a secret bronze alloy formula. The K Series produces a complex, shimmering tone sought after by legendary drummers like Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, and Joey Kramer. The K Light Ride delivers the essence of this iconic sound in a versatile, responsive design.
