You don’t have to sacrifice quality and good sound for a lower price. Zildjian proves it with the ZHT series medium ride cymbal. Perfect for beginning drummers or those looking to make an upgrade to Zildjian, the ZHT medium ride just the type of cymbal that can raise the roof without bringing down your entire banking account.
For an entry level sheet bronze cymbal, the ZHT ride one of the most musical Zildjian has ever produced. Whether your musical tastes lean towards rock, metal, pop, jazz, R&B, country or fusion, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to tap into the sound possibilities this all-purpose ride cymbal offers.
The reason for its versatility and overall impressiveness lies at the heart of the alloy. It’s made from a harmonious blend of 88% copper and 12% tin, and just that little bump in extra tin (up from 8%) adds up to a whole lot more musicality. Precision hammering and lathing on the top and bottom deliver a bold, bright and melodic sound that’s amazingly consistent throughout the whole ZHT line. The traditional finish adds a darker luster.
As for the large 20” medium ride itself, it boasts an exceptionally clean stick response, a balanced attack with a slow decay and a defined bell for added playability. And since you don’t just want to go through the playing motions and not be heard, the ride has a loud volume that projects well in any setting, stubbornly breaking through the wall of other instruments in front of you.
