The Zildjian K' Light Ride Cymbal 22" is a 22" light ride cymbal, made from a B20 bronze alloy, constructed using an exclusive "Random Hammering" technique, and comes with a traditional finish. The K series is a further development of the original cymbals, that was created by Kerope Zildjian as far back as the 19th century. The sound character of this cymbal is low, dry and shimmering. The complex hammering and the fine lathing refine the cymbals from the K Series to versatile instruments with a large range of high and low frequencies, which can sound mild or intense depending on playing style. The 22" K Light Ride features the same "smoky" sound and excellent stick definition of the 24" model but in a smaller, more controllable size. The Ride is perfect for rock, jazz, country or any genre you can think of.
The main features of the Zildjian K' Light Ride Cymbal 22" include:
Fantastic cymbal The perfect ride for me. Iif you like a lot of wash on a ride cymbal, this is the one. It will not suit drummers who want a clear ping out of their ride cymbals or heavy hitters. A light touch is paramount. The crash sound is very dark and warm.
Great ride! The bow is dark and washy, but still enough stick articulation for latin and samba. The bell sound is nice and subtile, but still with decent cut. It is very crashable. I have stopped using a crash on the left side because of this cymbal. I do not see myself buy another main ride ever again.
