"Zildjian Vintage & Cie Ride is a Winner..."

Desirability:
Name says it all...everyone wants vintage cymbal sounds.

Sound:
Very responsive ride for being so thin. VERY versatile! I was chosing between this ride and the K Constantinople medium thin "high" ride...I'm very pleased with deciding to go with the Cie & Vintage ride. I only wish this cymbal was offered in a 21" model.

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
A sizzling, sparkling Ride sound not heard in decades. Bright, solid stick sound with a full, brilliant crash. The latest hammering processes work the thinnest castings into a cymbal that's responsive to gentle strokes, yet full-bodied enough to power the band.

Zildjian Rides - More than just a timekeeper
The Ride cymbal is an integral part of every cymbal set-up, from acoustic jazz to heavy rock. When the High Hat takes the role of timekeeper, the Ride is free to become the drummer's most personalized means of self-expression. The clear, well-defined sound, along with its flexibility to voice both riding and accents, opens up unlimited possibilities for the drummer.

What makes a great Ride
There are two basic types of Ride cymbal. One type has fewer overtones and extreme stick definition, while the other has good stick definition as well as plenty of spread with more overtones. Zildjian offers both of these extremes and everything between, to give you every possible choice. The hallmark of a great Ride is the consistent balance between stick attack and overtones at any dynamic level.
