Zildjian A Custom 22" Ride Cymbal – Bright, Versatile Professional Sound

The Zildjian A Custom 22" Ride Cymbal delivers the iconic sound that defined studio recording and live performance throughout the 1990s and beyond. Featuring a brilliant finish and modern rotary hammering, this medium-weight cymbal produces a smooth, glassy tone with exceptional clarity and projection. The carefully crafted tonal grooves and lower profile design create a cymbal that responds with warmth and articulation, making it an ideal choice for drummers seeking versatility across multiple musical genres and playing styles. This 22" ride excels as both a primary ride and secondary crash, offering a balanced combination of bright stick definition and lush wash.

The clear, cutting bell provides powerful articulation for punctuation and fills, while the overall construction ensures consistent response whether you're playing softly in a studio setting or driving a full band on stage. The narrow symmetrical groove pattern provides just enough stiffness for controlled stick feel without sacrificing the smooth, responsive character A Custom cymbals are known for.
