Zildjian A Custom 22-inch Ping ride

General

The Ping Ride offers a well-defined stick-definition and response, which makes it a great cymbal for playing complex rhythmic patterns. It has quite a lengthy sustain, partly thanks to the large bell, that also creates a bright, warm and well-rounded sound. As this cymbal is quite heavy, it has an excellent dynamic range and it will easily cut through any mix. The Ping Ride is well-suited for all-round drummers, but really shines in the hands of someone that plays latin or jazz-related styles.

Zildjian A Custom cymbals are suited for various musical styles, making them very popular with all-round drummers.

Cast Bronze

The Zildjian A Custom cymbals are cast from a special bronze alloy, the exact composition of which has been a Zildjian family secret for over 390 years. Although the process of further shaping and fine-tuning the cymbals has been modernised throughout the years, to this day, the craftsmen at Zildjian ensure that these cymbals are still valued highly in the drumming community. They're some of the best cymbals in the world!
