Zildjian Drum Set Cymbals 101
22" K RIDE
How To Prevent Your Cymbals From Cracking
Description
The Zildjian 20" K Series Ride cymbal delivers a stunning range of tone ideal for jazz, rock, fusion and progressive styles. Made in the USA using traditional Turkish techniques perfected by Zildjian in the 19th century, this cymbal produces a warm, shimmering sound with outstanding clarity and musicality. Its medium weight and traditional finish give drummers an inspiring level of control and nuance. Whether playing with brushes, mallets or sticks, the 20" K Ride responds dynamically to create washes of color and rhythmic punctuations. The Zildjian K Ride is a must-have for serious drummers seeking creative freedom of expression.
Hammered Bronze Construction Provides a Distinctive Tonal Complexity
The 20" K Ride is cast from Zildjian's proprietary bronze alloy, which is repeatedly hammered, lathed and finished by hand using secret techniques passed down through generations. This intensive process results in a cymbal with a complex blend of high, mid and low overtones that shimmer and bloom, with a warm, musical quality. The traditional K Ride bell produces a clear, full-bodied 'ping' with a long sustain, while the bow has a drier, more articulate sound perfect for rhythmic riding.
Versatile, Expressive Sound Works for Multiple Genres
With its dynamic sensitivity and complex tone, the 20" K Ride works well in a variety of musical settings. Jazz drummers will appreciate its ability to produce colorful washes and articulate stick clicks. Rock and fusion players will love its powerful, cutting bell sound and ability to cut through loud bands. Progressive and experimental drummers will delight in the range of unusual and inspiring sounds possible with this highly responsive cymbal.
Timeless, Handcrafted Quality
Since 1623, Zildjian has been producing the finest cymbals through traditional handcrafting methods. The 20" K Ride is the result of Zildjian's dedication to quality and ongoing innovation. Its classic finish and distinctive hammering patterns are hallmarks of the K Series sound, sought after by discerning drummers for decades. An investment in musicality, the 20" K Ride will provide a lifetime of inspiration and sonic discovery.
