Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
This is a great ride cymbal. It's very versatile. It can be used for any style, especially Jazz and Funk. This cymbal has great stick definition over a subtle dark wash. The bell just sings! I can't find anything wrong with this cymbal. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I own the 22" version, and it is a very nice cymbal. The warmth of the ping sound is so sweet on mine, it's what drew me to it immediately. The bell is not very large, and it took me a little while to learn how to work it. It is a good bell, with a nice pitch and tone, although not particularly loud. The crash sound is dark with low overtones, more gong-like than shimmery. The best thing about this ride is you can really lay into it, and it never gets too unruly. You can mix in small crashes with the shoulder of the stick, while riding, and get bursts of extra tone. Again, the regular ping of the main body is so mellow and sweet, it is unique and special. Very pricey, but I think it's a keeper, so that makes it worth it.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I bought this cymbal used for 140 bucks.Best deal I've gotten in a long time.This cymbal is perfect. Really the only music not suited for this gem is heavier metal. I wanted an A zil. med. ride for the crashability. I found a k custom med. ride on the used rack at my local drum shop. I took it home and it sounded great but....it was a little too heavy and the bell was decent.I traded it for this 20" k ride and just blows me away. Great ride,great bell great crash! Great cymbal.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I got the 20 inch ride with some special deal for 200$. This ride has the most perfect blend of ping and wash I've ever heard. It's perfect for jazz, and probably anything else you will ever play. You might want a ride with more ping if you play metal or in very loud live settings, but this ride will cover everything else. many different sounds you can get from this cymbal such as really nice bell sound, light sticking sound, heavy wash, and gong-like crash. Especially great for jazz-influenced and experimental genres.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I use this Cymbal in a very stripped Set-up. I love to have a A,K,A Custom Mix, So I use my 14 New Beats, 18 A Custom Medium Crash, and this 20 inch ride.The K ride is so Versatile! I was using a Sweet Ride for a long time, but when I played this one, I switched over. So many different sounds, blends perfectly with any pair of A hats and mixes beautifully with an A Custom crash (or Sabian AAX or Vault Crash).Crash on it, ride one it, it sounds amazing. Just enough wash that is controllable, the way a ride should be.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
This cymbal was given to me along with my kit, aged and used. It is great. I can deliver any kind of beat I want. I have to 20'' by the way. It is a sturdy cymbal, and you can't go wrong with it.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I own the 18" version for about one year and I love it. I use it as a crashride and I mainly crash on it, even though it's a ride. It's very very washy. Do not expect a loud bell from it.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I own the 20" version and it's a great all-around jazz ride. I like this ride because it can make a really wide range of sounds; it has a nice combination of pinginess and wash. There are a lot of rides out there that only do the "ping", but the problem I see/hear with these rides is that they are very one dimensional. You can get a perfect ping on this ride--you just have to use a stick with a small-beaded head and know how to execute a proper cymbal hit for jazz purposes. Unlike the ping rides though, this baby has tons of depth, washiness, and a range of dynamics--in other words it is complex and can deliver a boatload of different sounds. The bell is AMAZING and the best I have heard on ANY ride--perfect for Latin or Funk. The ride itself, as I have already said, is excellent for jazz-both bop and fusion. I can't say this is a great ride for heavy rock, but it sounds great when I play Jimi/Mitch Mitchell tunes, so not all rock is out of the question. But, this ride is really made for jazz, and if you only own one ride for jazz, this is the one!
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
This is an amazing ride. My teacher has it and I love the ping sound it gives off. If I had the money, I'd buy this in a second.
Comments about Zildjian K Ride Cymbal:
I have owned a 20" k ride for a few years and it is the best sounding cymbal I've ever heard. Almost made the mistake of giving it up for a 22" k ride which I owned for a short while. Both sounded great but the 20" is definately superior. Amazing dry ride sound for softer music, but gets lost in loud music. Best dark crash soud I've ever heard for soft or loud music. And the bell is quite possibly the best I've ever heard. Clearer than my 21" A custom medium ride.
