- If you want to take only one to a gig - this is a fantastic choice because it does damn near everything extremely well.
- The elusive. The Famous. 1980s K Zildjian BRILLIANT FINISH 20” CRASH RIDE. And it sounds absolutely fantastic too! Captures that famous 80s K tone! And in the rare 20”.
- Was used by tons of iconic Zildjian artists in the 80s and 90s.
- As many a cymbalholic knows, THIS is that magical era of American Zildjian K - a few years after Zildjian reintroduced the illustrious series but this time made in U.S.A. The Brilliants debuted and with their ultra lush, super dark shimmering tone, they made a cannonball-sized splash into the drum world.
- Although they excelled at it, these were not “just jazz” cymbals. Many of the pop and session greats used these Brilliant Ks not just in the studio but in amplified settings.
-
And you can hear the reason why: this 20” K is dark but CUTS. And it’s remarkably lush and FULL.
- Rides as well as it crashes with a terrific stick attack that is present, dark and Brilliant smooth.
-
The bell is rounded over and very solid - it can cut a mix nicely. Even rock and pop.
- Hard to imagine this “CRASH RIDE” is 40 years old. It’s extremely clean. No issues.
- Amazing looking and sounding, not easy to find Brilliant K 20” Crash Ride from the halcyon 80s.
