    • Not very versatile.. the wash drowns out the ping

      This cymbal is only for hardcore metal and music of that sort. This CAN NOT be used for anything like jazz, blues, funk, or even rock.. its just way too aggravating, and obscure in the kit. It looks nice sure, but its a very awkward sounding ride.. its heavy as hell, but it still has a very LOUD wash to it that drowns out the ping!! Shouldn't it be the other way around! It's like playing on a 20" heavy crash. Although it's a heavy crash, it's intended purpose is to be a crash, not to be ridden on! The bell is piercing, but again is drowned out by the wash... It's a very awkward cymbal it is..... not worth the money.. i replaced it with a K Custom 22" Ride.

      This cymbol is amazing. Its the same cymbol used by Carter Beauford.(Dave Matthews Band) This 20''Zildgian A custom projection ride has an outstanding sound with loud bell. You can also use it as a crash ride cause its so loud. I highly recomend you buy this cymbol.

      Amazing ride and despite the price tag, it's worth every penny. The edge is great for crashing, the bow is very pingy, and the bell brings it all together with its cutting qualaties. The finish looks absolutely gorgeous but you have to keep up with the hygene if you want it to stay that way. Zildjian shines with every product they make, and this is no exception. Buy this ride now!

    • great cymbal.
