It has a marvelous chime-like stick attack that is followed by a focused, bright wash. And that wash NEVER eclipses the initial stick definition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you crash\/accent on this K you get a great lightening crack that's perfect for quick explosions. This Zidjian K Flat Ride will never get away from you either in volume or overtones. And therein lies its beauty. The pitch is medium to medium high.
