Are you ready to rock? This monster ride cymbal, the largest in the Zildjian ZHT series, is scary powerful and made for the hard rock or metal drummer who likes to hit hard, hit fast and hit furious. But don’t let the ride’s dark and brooding good looks fool you. Because it’s primarily a rock cymbal, you know it’s tough enough to withstand the punishing licks it will be exposed to on a daily basis.

This medium heavy weight ride has a clean, bright sound with an excellent wash and a very defined ping for accentuating and punctuating your music. The crash sound it delivers is unmistakable and authoritative with a long sustain. Although Zildjian classifies the 22” ride as a rock cymbal due to its cut and volume potential, it’s versatile enough to be used with most styles of music. That’s great if you’re in more than one band or play several different styles and don’t want to buy or lug around multiple cymbals when just the one ride will do.

Zildjian’s ZHT collection is by far the most advanced and the most musical sheet bronze cymbal series they’ve ever created. Like all the ZHTs, this ride is made from 88% copper with a tin content that jumps up to 12% to give the cymbals a more balanced frequency response and lush overtones. The traditional darker finish is accented with lathing bands on top and bottom and is dimpled with a good many hammering marks.
