zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Part of Zildjian's A Custom series, this distinctive ride cymbal delivers clear stick definition and sparkling "sizzle" thanks to its 6 pre-drilled rivets.

The Sizzle Ride is pre-drilled with the traditional configuration of six rivets for clear stick definition and sparkling "sizzle" spread.

A Custom cymbals deliver a sophisticated expression of classic Zildjian A Series sounds. They feature thinner weights and radically innovative hammering.

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.

Zildjian A-Custom Ride Customer Review

Quality
I bought Ziljian cymbals 30 years ago and they included 20 inch ride, a 20 inch sizzle, a 18 inch (K Ziljian) crash/ride, 2 X 14 inch High-hats and a 16 inch crash. I've played in bands from an 8 piece down to a 3 piece and I still have these cymbals because I'm reluctant to part with them. They are all still as good as when I first purchased them. Incidentally, I bought the 18 inch K-Ziljian when I was 16 years old. I am now 68.
