Zildjian - K Sweet Ride 23"

The Zildjian K Sweet Ride 23" is one of those cymbals that immediately transforms the playing experience. From the very first strike, it develops a supple, organic response, with that distinctive blend of warmth, depth and definition that characterises the K series. Here, the K family takes a slightly different direction, with more open, softer colours that are particularly pleasant to play over long sessions.

Its 23-inch diameter gives the sound an impressive breadth. The stick maintains a clean, legible definition, even in busy grooves, while the dark harmonics fill the space with great musicality. There's also a clear, precise bell that's easy to bring out without upsetting the overall balance of the cymbal.

Thanks to its medium-thin weight, this ride is also very natural to crash. It opens easily with a fluid, wide feel, which is a big hit with alternative rock, fusion, gospel, modern pop and contemporary jazz. It transitions easily from a precise ride to a large, more open wall of sound without giving the impression of changing cymbals completely.

Made from B20 with traditional hammering, the K Sweet Ride 23" retains the complex, expressive richness that has built the Zildjian K's historic reputation with generations of drummers.
