Customer reviews about Zildjian 21" A-Series Sweet Ride

Great crash/ride with nice bell

Anonymous 30.04.2015

The bell: played with the shoulder of the stick the bell produces a nice and cutting but not overly sharp sound.

The bow: played in the middle of the bow you get a mellow ride sound with lots of wash and good stick definition which gets tighter as you move closer to the bell.

The edge: fantastic crashability with surprisingly fast attack for a cymbal of this size.

I currently use this cymbal for a lot of crash riding in a stoner rock band. It's just perfectly suited for creating a massive wall of chrash during halftime parts.

Only 4/5 for quality because the edge of mine is slightly sharp so you have to watch out not to hurt yourself when choking the cymbal.

zildjian a sweet ride 21'

Anonymous 23.12.2016

This is Ride I?ve bought from second try.
First try was unpleasant because ride unfortunately,
came with defects, cymbal had micro cracks on the top
on the bottom and on the "Hole". Serial Number ended on 110.
Second Ride that came intead of first one has low quality
"Hole", without any Cracks but crooked (or curve)...
I Hope all be fine, but still very scary (smiley)
Serial number of second ride ended on 109
(that is really surprised me).
Probably, this cymbal was created by unqualified worker,
anyway it has too low quality for Zildjian Cymbals.
Thanks a lot to Thomann for replacement first defected cymbal. Second cymbal is defected too.....

Great versatile cymbal !

Anonymous 01.02.2017

the sweet ride 21", is a rare cymbal in my opinion, is very bright, but yet has an almost dark crash, you can crash it really hard, and then go back to hitting gently on top, and it will sound like two different cymbals, like a ride and a crash, since i started using sweet ride (since 8 years), i don't have a crash cymbal anymore, perfect cymbal, for loud strong drummer, and quite and soft drummers as well.

Sounds great

healy866 17.05.2021

I love this ride. The bell in particular sounds great. This cymbal is very versatile, and I'm very pleased with it. The only down side is that it gets dirty pretty easily with finger prints. But that's not a big deal, and the sound and quality more than make up for a little cleaning

Powerful crash/ride

S. Dia 06.08.2015

I use the Zildjian 21'' A sweet ride as a crash. Along with the 20'' A crash/ride, they are my main crashes. Even though it's a ride, its medium to medium thin weight makes it a great crash for rock/heavy hitting set ups. I really enjoy wash riding on that cymbal, it has great feel and beautiful dark tones. For softer playing with smaller drumsticks (like 7A), it should be a nice ride too.

Great Crash Too

shanery 13.09.2017

Wanted something to be a crash and ride all in one to save bringing an extra cymbal to gigs and this does both extremely well with no compromise on either end.

Great stick definition and easily control able and sounds great at all dynamics. I have it in a set of K's which are very dark but this blends in perfectly as my one has a darker wash to it than some other ones I've heard, I use it in wedding bands and a R and B sort of fusion band, couldn't be any happier, Zildjian does it again!
