The Zildjian K Custom medium ride cymbal can be a drummer's best friend. The 20-inch ride cymbal is revered for its cross genre appeal and versatile tone. The pitch is medium-to-low if played on the edge. However, if played closer to the bell, the result is increasingly high-pitched, giving the ride cymbal a place across the music spectrum from jazz to classic rock. The cymbal is easy to play and sounds great during live performances or during recording session. Proper cleaning and care leaves the cymbal with more sheen than the original day of purchase. Drummers say the cymbal has the right amount of wash, crashes well, and has excellent stick definition. Dubbed as the perfect all around cymbal, many drummers cite this Zildjian K to be their favorite ride.
