21" K CUSTOM SPECIAL DRY RIDE

Zildjian Drum Set Cymbals 101

23" K CUSTOM SPECIAL DRY RIDE

21" K CUSTOM SPECIAL DRY RIDE

Description
Like the popular Special Dry hi-hats and crashes, the K Custom Special Dry Ride is created with exclusive, radical hammering and lathing techniques. This unique cymbal maintains the dryness of the crash while offering a cutting stick sound. These rides are ideal for jazz and modern electronic music.
The K Custom Special Dry Series are the original dry cymbal remastered for today’s modern musical styles. These raw and earthy cymbals deliver a dry, funky sound with a quick fast attack, lots of dirt, yet shuts down quickly for a powerful expression of personality.

I bought my 21" K Custom Special Dry ride back in the early 2000s when Zildjian first introduced it to the K line up. I have never played a gig with out having it with me. I play a verity of music from Classic Rock, Jazz / Smooth Jazz, Funk, Rock. My 21" K Custom Special Dry Ride is always with me and always gets the job done.
