I picked this up on eBay so I wasn't expecting much. It turns out I got a decent pie, but it's limited in what it works for. It has a real short attack, and for me, works great as a left side ride. Medium high pitch, not much sustain, fairly dry. That's the good stuff. On the down side, I don't get the glowing reviews of the bell because to me it sounds dead and slightly muffled. Also, don't plan on getting subtleties out of this beast, it's thick and solid, stick character is pretty much uniform across the entire surface. Undertones start the moment you play it and literally go on forever. They're very low pitched and not too bad, but definitely noticable. You can literally go get a beer, have a burger, come back, and this puppy will still be humming. All in all; not a bad cymbal, but not a great one either. It adds a sound I was missing so for now it's a keeper, but I'm already looking for a replacement.

I bought this hunk of metal about 2 months ago and so far so good. I kinda got what I was looking for the only bad thing is the flippin bell(very dissapointed). But other than that its great. It cuts through other cymbals perfectly fine plus the price is preety fair. So for you drummers lookin for a cheap decent ride, go for it. But for you guys who like to ride that bell, I'd recommend something else.

Not Loud

By Sam Roach

from Texas

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

I received this ride about a year ago w/ the ZXT Rock cymbal pack. It definatly looks good but is not very loud. I ended up using an old Zildjian rock ride that i got for free. Now this is used as a secondary ride.

Good cymbal, only one thing that I don't like

By Tennesseeripper

from in a van down by the river

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

This cymbal is a rather nice cymbal, but has a few things I don't prefer. It has a pretty good amount of stick definition to it, which I love, and has a nice, sustaining tone. The only thing I don't like about this cymbal is the bell. The after tones just don't sound good, plain and simple. If they came out with a version that had a more cutting bell, I would definitely buy it. The cymbal sounds great in the mix, it's just the bell that I can't stand. Who knows though, you may or may not like it. The only way to find out is to go to your local shop and try one out.

Very loud!

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

Recieved this 20" rock ride in the ZXT cymbal pack about a month ago. This ride rings for a while but gets the job done. Overall a good deal.

Excellent Ride

By Banshee

from Philadelphia, PA

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

I've used this ride for the past 8 years. I did have to tape the bottom to remove the ringing. No big deal. But the bell is what makes the cymbal. I love this bell. It has been a staple of my sound for years. I find that people either love or hate this ride. For the price, it's worth every penny.

Solid

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

For the price it is a great buy, I have had it for about 5 months now and it gets the job done. If you are looking for a good bell don't buy it but other than that it has a solid ride sound for a good price.

Great!

By TheCoolCat

from California

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

This cymbal is a great deal. Its clean and cutting, with a little bit of a cold, dank feel, perfect for any rock setting. It's the perfect affordable ride, except that the bell is a little weak, and the ride is very ringy (I had to put tape on the uderside). Other that that is is a quality instrument.

OK

By James-s8A-x

from Long Island, NY

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

I've had this cymbal for about a year now. It's an OK cymbal. It sounds great for softer music (like jazz, even though it's called the Rock Ride) but when I play it with my band, it gets severely drowned out by the guitars. If your looking for an alright ride and have a very tight budget or just don't want to spend money, buy this, other than that...

Pretty Flippin Sweet

By TheCoolCat

from California

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

Ive had this Ride for about a month and I have to say that for the price, it was pretty good. The bell could be better, but that's something I can cope with. All in all, this is a great buy for any rock drummer.

Not the best

By drumMaster

from Manhattan, KS

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride Cymbal:

I just got this cymbal today, which I ordered in the ZXT pack and I have to say it wasn't too great. I was really dissapointed with the bell. You could even call it wimpy, I could barely hear it. It has an OK sound when you are hitting the ride part of the cymbal at first, but I found that it rings out too long and it began to annoy me.
