Zildjian Cymbals
Rides
More than just a timekeeper. The Ride cymbal is an integral part of every cymbal set-up, from acoustic jazz to heavy rock. It pushes along the chorus of a rock tune with just the
overtones and highly pronounced stick definition. On the other end is a ride with plenty of spread and overtones, and with more delicate stick definition.
Crashes
Cymbals with personality. Once you have selected your Ride and HiHat, you are ready to branch out to Crashes and Splashes. There are no limits to the number or variety of these cymbals you should include in your set-up. Pitch and size should play a role in how you select your Crashes.
The heart of your set-up. The HiHat is a timekeeping necessity for all drummers. Because the HiHat and the Ride both play a part in keeping time, the relationship between them is very important. Ideally they should be selected together, and they should sonically complement each other.
There’s no better way to quickly outfit your setup with all the necessary colors. Our box sets are hand picked at the factory to create a setup that you’ll love.
