  • No need to spend  $565 and guess and what your cymbal will sound like!  That’s preposterous! 

  • So instead, save money and know exactly what your next cymbal sounds like!  Have a listen to this exact cymbal! 

  • Zildjian K Sweet Ride in the 21” size.  This one is DARK and has a fantastic stick attack for the series. Magnificent bell too. 

  • Here's what Zildjian has to say about their latest K:
    "Smooth, dark, and moody, the 21" K Zildjian Sweet Ride brings centuries-old Zildjian character and charisma to virtually any style of music — from rock to symphonic. Zildjian's guarded B20 bronze recipe, rolled extra thin and paired with traditional hammering techniques, gives this cymbal unmatched dynamics and musical complexity. This ride's clear bell and stick definition give it a broad range of musical compatibility, while its thick wash makes it a rock 'n' roll mainstay. Discover a new side of the Zildjian K Series with the 21" K Sweet Ride"

  • And that is indeed accurate! This one is particularly versatile! 

  • Weighing in at a perfect 2458 grams, this K Sweet Ride plays like a Huge, Medium Thin FULL Crash Ride or Smooth Medium DARK Ride. The tone on this K is Dark, slightly complex, warm, and FULL. And it’s definitely smooth.

  • The spread is terrific and the bell yields a solid "DING" tone, which is terrific on a big 21" that remains crashable.

  • What's great about this Big 21" is that it is fairly Dark AAAAAAAAAAAAND it projects extremely well when crashed upon. And THAT is a rare combination. Dark cymbals usually do not project that strongly, bright ones do...but the tone is frequently sacrificed for volume. This K is very well balanced -- Semi-Dark AND with a superb projection.  Classic WARM K tone. A real Beauty!!

  • As a ride cymbal, this K emits a slightly focused, well-balanced stick attack on top that is followed by a slightly complex, warm, and mellow K wash. A perfect all-around ride cymbal.  And when you start crashing on it---all hell breaks loose!! You get a terrific wall of white noise.

  • No issues. Typical light wear/use with a golden patina built up over the last decade. And nowhere near $568 for a guess at tone.
