Il RIDE per eccellenza
Ho avuto moltissimi ride nella mia vita, ma il K 22 della Zildjian Sua Maest .
Definizione perfetta della campana, ottimo risposta della bacchetta e validissimo anche come crash. Il ping pastoso anche se a mio avviso preferibile quello del Rock Ride della stessa serie K, anche se ovviamente dipende da cosa si suona.
Io lo uso per rock e pop ed straordinario, non tornerei pi indietro.
Unico neo per cui d 4 stelle: l’Imballo con cui arrivato era assolutamente inadatto per un piatto di questo valore, non aveva pluriball e la plastica era solo un piccolo velo oltre al sacchetto Zildjian originale. Il prodotto infatti arrivato con un piccolo segno nero sul bordo. Non l’ho restituito perch a mio avviso non ha inficiato sulla qualit del suono.
AMAZON assolutamente deve rivedere le sue politiche di imballo per prodotti di questo valore.
At over 2500g, it isn't the lightest light ride(weighs in the medium category for it's weight) however, it has a nice low pitch with a controlled wash with a very nice woody stick definition as well as a nice crash. I was hoping for a lighter weight as to be a bit more washy, however this is a fine ride.

Ride con calidad y calidez
Aunque tiene bastante resonancia o cola sonora, el ataque es bien definido, dulce y clido. Un buen ride incluso como plato principal para jazz, latn o similar. Costaba entonces 269 euros. Muy buen precio para un instrumento de tanta calidad.
Went through many ride cymbals and this is my favorite. I play mostly folk, jazz, and lighter music, but what I like about this is it is versatile for louder music I sometimes play.
The cymbal is exactly what I expected and wanted, but the packaging was horrible! It basically came loose in a big rectangle box with no cushioning or stabilizing. Pretty ridiculous considering it’s a $400 cymbal. No damage luckily
Purchased three Zildjian cymbals from Amazon recently. I found Zildjian.com’s mp3 samples of ride patterns / crashes for each of their cymbals very helpful in finding the cymbals I liked (personal preference). I was somewhat hesitant to order cymbals through the mail at first, and overall, had a relatively good to mixed experience purchasing cymbals from Amazon (directly, not fulfilled by third party). I had visited some retail stores, but often, they didn’t have the cymbal I was looking for in stock or were marked up with fingerprints already. Please see my comments and purchase experience for each.
Zildjian K 16″ Dark Crash Medium Thin — (also considered Zildjian K Custom 16″ Dark Crash)
Cymbal Review : (5/5 stars) — Sound quality excellent. When crashed, sounds almost exactly like Zildjian.com mp3 for this cymbal.
Overall experience: This was the first cymbal I purchased from Amazon. Arrived in a box in Zildjian plastic bag with about 6 small air-pillows thrown in. No protection for cymbal edges. Cymbal arrived in good condition.
Zildjian K 14″ Mastersound Hi Hat Cymbals Pair– (Also considered Zildjian K 14″ Hi Hat)
Cymbal Review: (5/5 stars) Sound quality excellent. Clean “chick” sound. Pattern, crash and chick sounds very similar to Zildjian.com mp3’s for this hi hat pair.
Overall experience: This was the second set of cymbals I purchased from Amazon. Again, arrived in a box in Zildjian plastic bag with about 4 small air-pillows thrown in. No protection for cymbal edges. Hi Hat pair was bundled together metal on metal with a plastic insert through center hole to hold them together. Cymbals arrived in fair condition, bottom cymbal slightly scuffed.
Zildjian K 22″ Ride Cymbal — (also considered Zildjian A Custom Med Ride 22″)
Cymbal Review: (3/5 stars to 5/5 stars) Sound quality good/excellent, deep and warm when crashed. True to Zildjian.com mp3’s for the 2nd 22″ ride.
Overall experience: Poor. 1st 22″ Ride, arrived in an oversized box in Zildjian plastic bag with one piece of brown paper — heavy cymbal slid around, and must have broken through the box (hit asphalt or concrete?) and one edge was damaged/scratched/scuffed (see photo 1). Immediately requested replacement. A few days later, the 2nd 22″ Ride arrived. Same problem, oversized box, this time no Zildjian plastic bag but had two pieces of brown paper — again heavy cymbal slid around, broke through the box, and this time in addition to being scuffed on one edge, it was slightly bent, like it hit something metal (see photo 2). I was upset and prepared to return both, but decided to put both on cymbal stands to check the sound. 1st 22″ ride resonated with noticeable harsh bright overtones when crashed — ride pattern sounded somewhat “bright”. 2nd 22″ ride sounded deep and warm when crashed, ride pattern sounded “dark”, as it should. Although the 2nd 22″ ride was scuffed/slightly bent on one edge, it sounded great. So I decided to keep it.
Conclusion: Zildjian K cymbals are some of my favorites (again personal preference). I would consider purchasing smaller cymbals from Amazon again. But for larger (heavier) cymbals, I would think twice. These cymbals are expensive musical instruments, and should be treated with the respect they deserve when packaging for transit.
it’s perfect. super light crisp sound for jazz or some light crashing. i wish it had a bigger bell for help with some latin patterns but this is still a great cymbal.
it is very warm and fit with most of kinds of music you can imagine.
I cannot ask more from a cymbal at this size. it sounds great and looks beautifull
i received the package from seller in reasonable time line
i am happy with the purchase
We ordered this cymbal as a birthday gift for our son (he had done the research), and he was not at all disappointed. The quality is excellent, it was shipped in a timely fashion, and in perfect condition.
