Zildjian - K0807 Projection 21" Ride Craig Reynolds
The Zildjian K0807 Projection Ride Craig Reynolds pushes the boundaries with a massive bell with a cutting sound and a crashable bow that’s just waiting to be tamed. At 21 inches in diameter, this cymbal from the K Family series was born from a collaboration with Craig Reynolds, who evolved within Stray From the Path to meet the most muscular expectations in terms of attack and projection. Its fully chiseled bow ensures a wide and expressive diffusion, while its extra-large unchiseled bell pierces the mix with relentless clarity. Made in the USA from B20 bronze, it benefits from a traditional finish on the bow and a bright finish on the bell, combining power and musicality with a subtle balance between definition, sustain and crashability.
Presentation
When the strike becomes more supported, the K Projection Ride reveals a surprising crashability, releasing a sonic breath that is both dark and sharp, perfectly suited to styles where energy must be kept under control. While the bell imposes itself with brute force, the bow reveals a more subtle playing, offering a mellow texture that balances the whole. This marriage of pronounced definition and sonic openness allows you to adapt your playing according to your needs, whether for a sharp drive or a more diffuse explosion.
Like all cymbals from the K series, this model remains faithful to the Zildjian heritage, combining precise chiseling work and a design thought out to meet the demands of modern drummers. While the B20 bronze guarantees an undeniable harmonic richness, the Medium Heavy profile ensures a solid foundation that withstands the most intense strikes, without ever restricting the expressiveness of the playing.
During moments when the dynamics must remain in the background, the K Projection Ride also knows how to be more discreet, revealing a balanced sustain and a definition allowing perfect control of the playing. However, as soon as the energy increases a notch, it responds with an authority that leaves no room for doubt, proving that it is cut out for drummers demanding a cymbal as powerful as it is adaptable to different sonic intentions.
