Zildjian Review: K Jazz Ride 20"

Zildjian Drums Percussion



History: I've been playing a lot por the past 10 years. From jazz/bossanova to alternative rock..post-rock..

Purchase: I1ve got it used but in good shape. I exchange it with my K Ride 20" (i thought it was too crispy).

What I Like About This Zildjian K Jazz Ride 20": Well, the Jazz Ride is the perfect ride for me. Its balance in volume, crispiness, the ping is clear (not as clear as the heaxy ride)but clear and respondes quickly when crashed on the boards. I was surprised with the shape of this cymbal which is very like the A Ping Ride, with its borads i little curved down to control volume and sustain. Great cymbal!!

What I Do NOT Like About The Zildjian K Jazz Ride 20": I just thought the bell could be a little louder in volume, but its very penetrating as well.

Zildjian K Jazz Ride 20" Quality Rating: Zildjian quality! And K's incredible sound.



Review Summary: Funnaly, The K Jazz Ride is the one for musicians that need versatility and personality.

Rating of this Zildjian product: 5
