The Zildjian A 20-inch Medium Ride is one of the most versatile and widely used ride cymbals in popular music, delivering a clear, articulate stick definition with a warm, musical wash that sits beautifully in virtually any musical context. The medium weight provides a balanced blend of stick clarity and body " heavy enough to maintain definition at higher volumes, yet light enough to open up with a musical wash when played with more force. The bell is strong and cutting, providing a clear accent tone that projects over drums and amplification. Cast from Zildjian's proprietary B20 bronze alloy, the A series delivers the classic, warm sound that has defined American popular music for generations. The cymbal responds predictably to dynamic changes, making it equally comfortable behind a jazz trio, a rock band, or a worship ensemble. Build quality and tonal consistency reflect Zildjian's centuries of cymbal-making expertise. This ride cymbal suits drummers across all genres and experience levels who need a reliable, musical ride that works in any situation. It is one of the most recorded ride cymbals in history for good reason. Players seeking a very dry, low-volume jazz ride or an extremely heavy, defined metal ride may prefer a more specialized model.
