Zildjian - S Family 22" Medium Ride

he Zildjian S Family Medium Ride 22" has been designed for drummers who want a ride that stays clear and musical in a wide range of situations. With its large 22-inch diameter, it immediately develops a wider, fuller presence than a standard ride, while retaining a precise response under the sticks.

The stick comes out cleanly with good definition in the midrange, helping to keep grooves legible even in busy passages. Each stroke remains clean without becoming too dry, making this cymbal a pleasure to use both in rehearsal and live. Its well-defined bell also provides a real fulcrum for playing, with enough projection to cut through a rock or pop mix with ease.

Thanks to its medium weight, this ride maintains an interesting balance between control and openness. It responds quickly under the stick, but also develops enough body to create more powerful climbs when the playing becomes more energetic. The 22-inch format also gives it a more explosive, wider feel, while retaining good sensitivity.

Made from B12 alloy with a high-gloss finish, the S Family Medium Ride develops a modern, bright and versatile sound that works equally well in rock, pop, funk or contemporary music.
