Product details
The Zildjian 20 S Family Medium Ride cymbal is a versatile percussion instrument for drummers seeking a balanced sound profile for various musical applications. This 20-inch (50.8 cm) diameter ride cymbal features a medium weight construction that offers clear stick definition with a controlled, musical wash. It produces a focused ping with moderate overtone presence, making it suitable for live performances and studio recordings. Made from B20 bronze alloy, known for its rich harmonic complexity and durability, it provides consistent sound characteristics across the entire playing surface. Traditional lathe and hammer patterns contribute to its balanced responsiveness and projection capabilities. The bell allows for articulated accents with sufficient volume penetration, while the bow area remains clear even during sustained playing. The cymbal performs effectively across various genres such as rock, jazz, fusion, and contemporary music styles. The medium weight specification enables both light jazz riding and moderate rock playing without excessive volume or unwanted overtones. With a standardized 7.6 mm center hole for mounting on most cymbal stand systems and a weight of approximately 2.3 kg, it offers stable performance with minimal wobble. The sound characteristics include a fundamental pitch in the mid to high range with controlled decay, allowing it to fit well in both acoustic and amplified musical contexts. The surface finish provides visual appeal while maintaining the essential acoustic properties for professional use. This instrument represents a reliable choice for drummers who need a versatile ride cymbal with consistent performance across different playing dynamics and musical situations.
