20" Zildjian K Crash Ride

Product Description

The Zildjian K Crash Ride 20" combines the fast response of a crash with the stick definition of a ride cymbal. It's hammered using Zildjian's traditional K method, giving it a dry, lower-pitched tone and a shimmering, complex sound. A solid choice if you want a single cymbal that covers more than one role on the kit.

Sound Character

Thanks to the distinctive hammering technique, this cymbal has a dry, low pitch and a shimmering character rather than a clean, hard tone. Depending on how and where you play it, the sound can turn intense and cutting or more mature and mellow — it responds clearly to touch and dynamics.

Playing Feel

As a crash it delivers a fat, quick, and dark sound with good cut. As a ride it offers clear stick definition, so patterns and comping stay audible even during busier playing.

Who It's For

The K series has long been a favorite in jazz circles, but its darker, more textured sound also works well for funk and rock drummers. A good fit if you want a flexible crash-ride rather than several separate cymbals.
