    Outstanding Cymbal

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    I recently traded in a Zildjian A Medium-Thin 18" crash to get the 18" version of this K Crash-Ride. I had never previously traded or really sold a piece of drum equipment in my life. It's just that, when I heard this one, I knew I had to have it. I never was too hip on the idea of a "crash-ride", I mean, what is it, a crash or a ride ? Well, I'd say this is a crash, which is excellent for "crash-riding". It has a complex sound that is, by no means, dark, in fact, I would say it's got a nice bite to it, and it has its share of brightness, with a very smooth wash and decay. It's not the kind of cymbal that you crash hard on. In fact, I think bigger crashes like this sound best when struck not too hard. I'm not that great at describing cymbals, all I do know is I have some great cymbals, and this one easily stands among the very best I own. Definitely a top-of-the-line pie ... highly recommended.

    Dark Crash qualites With Powerful Projection

    By Keegan

    from Michigan

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    Plain and simple. This cymbal needs no help to cut through any other instrument on stage. Its Dark crash quality with a somewhat shimmering ride definition works great for Louder musical application. Its Lightweight, its durable but those stickmarks will mess up its appearance so make sure to have that trusty Zildjian cymbal polish on hand if you want it to look nice! Its expensive but Its worth every cent! Outstanding Job once again Zildjian!

    Bright, Loud, and Cutting - need I say more?

    By ZILDJIANS-rule-21

    from Montreal, QC

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    Awesome cymbal, I might have to buy the whole set ... 18,21, and 22 the 20 is nothing short of spectacular and is really projective ... It's bright and it's just plain awesome! Ride qualities are meh, good for jazz but I wouldn't use it as a main crash, but a secondary one. Other then that awesome Crash! I'm no doubt saving money to buy the 21 inch soon! Thanks ZildjianJust a side note though, I have a Projection Crash 17 inch that doesn't really blend well with it, I think this cymbal would fit well with other K's, A Customs (thins), and probably the Medium Thin Crashes just my opinion...

    Best Crash Ever!

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    I was looking for an explosive crash. I went to the Zildjian website to preview the sounds of the different crashes. This is the best one hands down. I was not disappointed one bit when I got it. The ride qualities aren't quite what I would expect for the amount it cost but I wasn't looking for a ride. This thing cuts through any live situation and also has excellent recording qualities. If you?re looking for the best crash ever, look no further.

    I was looking for an explosive crash. I went to the Zildjian website to preview the sounds of the different crashes. Even though this cymbal wasn't listed under the crashes, this is the best one hands down. I was not disappointed one bit when I got it. The ride qualities aren't quite what I would expect for the amount it cost but, I wasn't looking for a ride. This thing cuts through any live situation and also has excellent recording qualities.

    Greatest hybrid cymbal ever

    By drumman18

    from SF Bay Area

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    Goes great with any type of drumming. Very explosive and powerful as a crash, but it can be played light and smooth like on a jazzy constantinople big band ride. It is the exact sound that I have been looking for for a long long time. My only complaint about this cymbal is that the bell isnt quite as dry as I might like with a ride. But I cant ask for a good bell on this ride, being a crash ride. DUH TOTALLY RECOMMENDED

    Awsome Cymbal

    By Gandyman40

    from San Antonio, Texas

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    I got the 20" K Crash/Ride and it is amazing. The crash sound of it is really powerful, and explosive. The ride part is a little hummy, but I don't use the ride part to often. If you are just looking at it, I suggest you get it. Its worth every penny.

    Wonderful Cymbal

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    I own the 18in version and can't get enough of it. It has a great crash sound and works well as a left hand ride. Like other reviews before, the ride sound is very washy, and brings out the crash noise if played too hard. however, this proves to be very good for lighter acoustic settings. My one word to describe it would be sensitive. Its my favorite cymbal!

    too ponderous...not what i'd expect from a k

    By philreedmoney

    from Southern Ohio

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    When crashed the cymbal is crashed upon, the bell produces an extremely irritating high pitched tone. I was hoping this would be a good choice as a crash since the k line doesn't offer and 20" crashes. It doesnt really float my boat, and it was a pretty big let down. I ended up placing duct tape on the underside of the bell to mute out the nasty ring and that helped a little....if you're looking for a big cymbal to crash on go with a Meinl Byzance Jazz Sweet Light Ride.

    Crash/Ride more crash than ride

    Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:

    I bought the 20" used cheap after a Kenny Aronoff clinic as a compromise between a crash and a ride. However, this is not what I was looking for. It's too wimpy as a ride, the wash drowns every articulation out. The bell is all right, but quiet. At low volumes it's not bad, but when I'm on stage with a full band, as a ride, this just doesn't cut it. However, this is one of the best crashes I have ever heard. It projects and makes little kids wet their pants. If your looking for a really loud crash this is it.
