Butter, a pure gem, very pleasant to the touch & musical, a must from Zildjian! Medium thickness (and not medium thin, quite the difference), a very beautiful sound, fat & medium low harmonics, normal for a Dark you might say! Faithful to the brand for over 45 years, I have been searching for ages for the Holy Grail of all drummers, namely the Ride that will fulfill my drumming fantasies and I must admit that I am fulfilled! However, the versatile Ride does not exist, meaning a cymbal capable of adapting to all styles. This magnificent 22" pearl is ideal for Jazz of course but also for Pop, Blues, Latin, Rock not powerful but certainly not for all "angry music" (Hard, Metal ...), this Ride having a limit of power & definition despite the diameter. Indeed, the ping is well detached, precise if you don't hit it too hard, the "dark" harmonics enhancing an always present halo, which will certainly not please a drummer looking for a sharp, ultra precise & defined ping, without resonance. Of course, it can also be played as a crash and there, absolute power! This Ride will quickly become a collector's item, I am sure of it, it will improve with time (like all K & K Custom by the way ...), so I keep it in my heart, among all my other K & K Custom Rides, a pearl among flowers!... Many thanks again to the entire Woodbrass team for their kindness, professionalism, availability, cymbal received in record time, perfect packaging, courteous service, see you soon for other purchases!...
