my 20" Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride

[drummond]

i just bought one of these a week ago and i must say, it's one the best rides i've ever played! i've gone through a ton of different rides and brands, but this the one! this cymbal has the best combination of stick def and wash that you could ask for! it even crashes really well! the bell is remarkable! you could really lay into it without the cymbal getting too washy and drowning out your snare. i'm kinda scared of cracking it, though. anyone else have one of these? if you don't, try one out!

Have one. Love it! :D

i've been using 7a vic firth sticks, and they seem to bring out the best in this particular ride. i think switching to my 5B's will bend or crack it over time (but i think any stick can do that).

I have a 22" Zildjian Dark ride that I'm very fond of. I must have played at least 20 different one before I found one that wowed me. one of the few cymbals I bought brand new.

I like the 20" too

I use Elvin Jones sticks mostly but I also use Michael Carvin, Ed Shaughnessy, and 5A Naturals.

Of course, I use a bunch of different models of Paiste and Zildjian rides.
