  • Why the hell go $350 deep on a new puny-sized Zildjian 20” Ping Ride??

  • Get the Vintage 22” for less. The REAL ONE forged in the fires of Classic Rock. 

  • The 22” is a much better cymbal than its little brother - darker, lower pitched, a piercing bell and a generous playing field.

  • No need to guess at a big box store stock photo Have a listen to this exact cymbal. 

  • Incredibly SMOOTH sounding for a PING. Mellowed and dried out with no harshness. 

  • Sports the downward flanged Ping-style edge for projection.  

  • What's great about this specific 22" is that the decades have aged its tone-it has a terrific focused stick attack.

  • The massive 6” bell cuts beautifully. 

  • Although the "Ping" stamped has most likely been wiped clean by Father Time, this beauty PLAYS like a PING!  But a very smooth one. 

  • As many of you may know, the Vintage Zildjian Ping Ride 22" was a perennial favorite of Neil Peart during Rush's heydays of the 1970s through early 1980s!

  • And that’s the VIBE of this gorgeous 22"!   

  • Weighing in at a ROBUST 3312 grams this 1970s 22” Ride delivers a terrific Semi-Dark PING attack that is followed by a beautifully controlled wash. 

  • Because it is a big 22", the pitch is medium to medium-low and darker than the 20”. The bell is wonderfully solid and slices through stacks of Marshall amps with the utmost of ease. 

  • Perhaps the most famous of all Zildjian Ride cymbals, the Ping Ride has been a staple cymbal for all genres of music for decades. And the older ones are particularly sweet on the ears. 

  • And Zildjian discontinued this beauty which is crazy because it was one of the most popular and most recorded cymbals in the catalog. 

  • Typical light use on a 40 year old cymbal. Slightly larger hole. Fits on stand perfectly. This is the sound! Right here. 

  • Don’t spend more for less and a guess….
