Review: "The ReZo line for Zildjian is relatively new, and there are more than a dozen models ranging from a 10″ Splash up to a 21″ Ride. They are beautiful cymbals to look at, and in my opinion, one of the best sounding models they have ever created. The ReZo has a combination of hammering and lathing, but the lathing is spaced with regions of finely lathed and heavily lathed surfaces. The inner portion of the cymbal is thicker than the outer region. In this review, we look at the Zildjian 21″ A Custom ReZo Ride Cymbal. It not only rides beautifully, it crashes nicely as well.

The close-up photo below shows the unique lathing pattern."

Review: "The single ReZo ride is 21" in diameter and medium heavy, and so is on the sturdy side. It gives a glassy ping that sits above a bed of shimmering brightness. The unlathed bell sounds separate from the bow and is relatively untroubled by overtones."

Review: "Zildjian decided that the ReZo line would have only one ride cymbal, a 21" ($543). This medium- heavy cymbal was precise, articulate, and direct. The stick sound was pointed and was followed by a high-pitched sustain. I found this model sounded better when played with a larger stick, as my 5A jumped off the cymbal a little too quickly to bring the ride to its full potential. A 5B felt better. This ride would work well on any large stage, producing a bright tone for all to hear.

The ReZo ride bell commanded the beat with ease, and each stroke was rewarded with a loud "ding." I wasn't inclined to crash this ride-it was too heavy for that. The stick "ping" was consistent throughout the cymbal, with minimal low wash building up underneath."
