- The famous ZILDJIAN.
- This grandfather of Heavy Dry was a Zildjian FIRST among cymbal making! That’s right. The Earth Ride was the first unlathed cymbal to ever hit the market.
- At Billy Cobham’s request, Armand Zildjian roamed the factory until he came across this unlathed (and unhammered?) cymbal and he knew that was the tone Billy was seeking. And the Earth Ride was born!
- With a bell as majestic as Mount Fuji and an attack as DRY as a Sonoran salt flat, this No Longer Made 20” Earth Ride conjures our planet's tempestuous beginning. NO cymbal out there does what the Earth Ride accomplished - unprecedented MASSIVE DRY ATTACK WITH A PIERCING BELL!
- THIS WAS THE FIRST. Debuted in the 70s. And a lot of famous Zildjian artists used them in addition to Billy Cobham.
-
At 3680 grams, this is without if doubt one of the heaviest 20” cymbals Zildjian has ever produced.
- I mean….even for the Earth Ride - this one is HEAVY!
- Unparalleled stick attack that projects the best of any Zildjian cymbal ever produced. ULTRA DRY. Extremely focused with piercing and definitive articulation. Definitely loud.
- A massive and famous bell that redefined cymbal bells and ushered in 3 decades of big belled cymbals that cut through the din of guitars.
- Well, this one was the first!
- This Earth Ride is all about attack. It’s incredible live!
- No issues. Nothing looks like it. Nothing sounds like it.
- Perfect for medium to extremely loud.
- A legend in its own time. And you can’t even get this beauty anymore. A blast to play!
