Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "At over 3kg, the 21" ride is quite a lot of cymbal. It feels surprisingly thin to handle, though. The lathed area gives a clean, slightly woody-sounding ping over a complementary wash. Crossing over onto the polished area brings an instant change in character, with the stick sound morphing into something altogether tighter and more pronounced.

A metallic edge adds focus, helping the cymbal project further without a dramatic increase in volume. By the time the bell is reached, there's virtually no wash remaining - just a clear, strong peal. Crashing the ride is simple and it opens with a bright, shimmering note that takes some time to decay."
