  • No need to spend nearly $600 on a guess at 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 beauty! 

  • Zildjian K Sweet Ride on the GENEROUS 23” size.  This one is thinner, darker and more crashable than most you will find! It indeed is very sweet sounding. 

  • Here's what Zildjian has to say about their latest K:
    "Smooth, dark, and moody, the 23” 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 23” K Sweet Ride"

  • And that is indeed accurate! Again, this particular one is thinner and darker than most. Beautiful and full, versatile! 

  • Weighing in at a luscious 2926 grams, this K Sweet Ride plays like a Huge, Thin to Medium Thin FULL Crash Ride or Smooth 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 23” that remains crashable.

  • What's cool about this massive 23” 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!!

  • Amazing condition! Light golden patina and use. Gorgeous. And not a $600 guess at sound!
