Sweet cymbals with a traditional finish

The Zildjian A-Series Sweet Ride cymbals have an impressively clear, bright overall sound that makes them very versatile. All the cymbals in this series and this set are machined from high-quality B20 bronze, consisting of 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin. The surfaces have an attractive traditional finish: The light hammer indentations and the fine lathing patterns also give the cymbals a particularly attractive look. The A-Series Sweet Ride Cymbal Set includes a 14" A-New Beat Hi-Hat, 16" and 18" A-Thin Crashes, and a 21" A-Sweet Ride.

Bright and sweet

All cymbals in the A-Series Sweet Ride Cymbal Set have a bright character and quick response. They're sure to convince even the most exactign ears with their clean, detailed sound, which isn't to say they can't get loud: They can! The New Beat Hi-Hat offers a defined stick sound and a solid 'chick' which cuts through any mix with ease. The Sweet Ride, with its gentle wash, proves to be an extremely flexible model, which offers a high definition even with faster playing styles and is also easy to crash at the same time. Finally, the thin crash cymbals respond extremely quickly and, as the volume or playing intensity increases, will produce a lot of rich, long-lasting wash.

The perfect opportunity

There are many drummers who don't like the modern trashy sound much, but instead prefer more traditional-sounding cymbal models – they'll be thrilled with Zildjian's A-Series Sweet Ride cymbal set. The bright, balanced sound of the A-series cymbals ensures clear and versatile dynamics, however they're used. In addition, the A-Series Sweet Ride cymbal set offers an enormous price advantage compared to cymbals purchased individually. For anyone who's always wanted to buy professional A-Series cymbals at a comparatively low price, the A-Series Sweet Ride cymbal set is the perfect opportunity.

About Zildjian

The Avedis Zildjian company is one of the world's oldest manufacturers of musical instruments. In addition to cymbals and gongs, the Zildjian range also includes drumsticks, percussion mallets, and accessories. The company's history dates back to 1618, when an Armenian, Avedis Zildjian, made his first cymbals from tin, copper, and silver near Constantinople. In the early 20th century, the company moved its headquarters to the United States, where a short time later the era of big bands and Swing music began. Zildjian worked closely with the most famous drummers of that era and over the decades earned an excellent reputation among Jazz drummers. Since Ringo Starr led the way more recently, Zildjian cymbals have also become increasingly popular among Rock drummers, and today the range includes cymbals for every conceivable genre, ranging from affordable entry-level cymbals to handmade models of the very highest quality.

Spoilt for choice

The Zildjian A series consists of a wide range that includes many different types of cymbals in different sizes, so drummers can always expand the A-Series Sweet Ride cymbal set with other hi-hat, crash, ride, and effect cymbal models that match the series. Particularly noteworthy are the china cymbals – which achieve a different sound not only thanks to their size, but also through specific production techniques – as well as the large 22" Swish Knocker cymbal, which has 20 rivets attached to the underside that help create an extraordinary sizzle effect and an ultralong sustain.

Great cymbals FOR THE PRICE

Anonymous 07.03.2016

I love these cymbals and have gigged with them a couple times, recorded too, and am very pleased overwall with them considering the price I paid.

All cymbals sounded great out of the box and weren't hard to get a nice sound out of through the mic's (which is less to do with the cymbals, but still)

My only problem is that - around 5 or 6 months I think - the 18" crash i bought with this set developed a large crack. As an experienced drummer I am fully aware that the way i'm playing COULD have caused this, but I'm certain it's just the weakness of that cymbal.

That said, the ride sounds amazing, truly amazing, the bell is a little weak but the crash sound of it stands up to some ofthe better cymbals i've heard in my time.

The 16 inch ride is one of the best crashes i've heard to my taste. Fast decay, but bright attack.

The hi-hats are a little bright to my taste, but then again I usually play 16's.

Overall, a very good sounding set despite some issues, which are in the process of being fixed.

Top of the notch

Top of the notch zildjian cymbal pack ;very versatile; the only thing i noticed is that for heavier rock-metal style of music the ride does not deliver the distinct ''ping'' outside the bell-area that fits (or that we are used to think that fit) with that music (that's why they call it sweet i guess)....despite that i do play with it rock/metal :)
Hi-hat and crashes they sing!!!

Great all round cymbal set

Anonymous 19.01.2016

I bought these as my first set of cast cymbals. I decided to go with Zildjian as they always come so highly rated. I really like them, particularly the Sweet Ride and the 16? Crash which cut through any beat without being harsh or obtrusive. The 18? is also good so no complaints there. The hats are OK in my opinion - not as crisp as I would like and they also sound a little heavy for the type of sound I am after but they are of very high quality nonetheless. They may suit you perfectly if you like to play really loud - I don?t! Next time I will definitely be checking out the Zultan Q series as I recently purchased a 10? Zultan splash which was so cheap it?s unreal and the sound is absolutely incredible for the price!
