20" K Custom Left Side Ride
Designed with Peter Erskine, the all-important 2nd Ride. With a clear, warm Ride sound and the superb textural qualities of a 3-Rivet cluster.
Peter Erskine isn't the only drummer who considers Ks the holy grail of Ride sounds. But he considers the Left Side Ride "the perfect combination of spread and precision - the cymbal I've been looking for all my life."
A compliment to his Crash and a "best friend" to his Ride, the Left Side Ride has the familiar warmth and clarity of his other Ks but adds a new distinctive sound.
22" K Custom High Definition Ride
Designed with Terri Lyne Carrington, speaks with great definition and enough tone to balance its dryness. Reminiscent of old Ks or Constantinoples, it is at home in electric or acoustic situations.
The Ride that Terri Lyne heard in her head for years became a reality in the High Definition Ride. She imagined one Ride she could play in small and large venues, in acoustic and electric settings, and for tradional and contemporary jazz. She says this Ride lets her personality come through "no matter what musical situation I'm in."

20" K Custom Session Ride
With longer sustain and a lower pitch than its 18" counterpart, the Custom Session Ride features a clean articulate stick sound, controllable wash with complex, dark overtones, a bright cutting bell and dry short crashes.
Recently introduced, the popular Session series is the culmination of several years work between Steve Gadd and the Zildjian Sound Lab to duplicate his classic and sought-after cymbal sound. 14" Hi Hats and 18" Ride were modeled directly after Steve's personal cymbals with the 16" and 18" Crashes representing Steve's favorite crash sounds.
