- Here’s a beauty that was inspired by one of the greatest drummers to ever pick up sticks.
- And of course, that means Zildjian discontinued it….
- The Hard To Find Steve Gadd model K Custom Session 18” Ride. And this one has aged well over the last 2 decades! It’s naturally DRY with a great stick attack.
- Yes, the more controlled 18” - modeled directly after his personal cymbals according to Zildjian.
- Here's what Zildjian has to say about the 20" version:
"The popular Session series is the culmination of several years work between Steve Gadd and the Zildjian Sound Lab to duplicate his classic and sought-after cymbal sound. 14" HiHats and 18" Ride were modeled directly after Steve's personal cymbals with the 16" and 18" Crashes representing Steve's favorite crash sounds."
- And that is accurate, but add in a sentence about the tone being more controlled by the 18" size.
- And this specific one is pretty dark and low-sounding. It could easily pass as a 20”. It’s low pitched for a Zildjian 18”.
- The weight is 2150 grams and the bell is unhammered and solid as hell! The plain of the ride is unlathed but hammered and has a wavy almost EAK look and vibe. The finish is brilliant.
- What's nice about this particular 18" is that the pitch is not as high as you may expect. It's a great low pitch with the capacity to cut and has the body. It sounds a bit more mellow than the original K Custom.
- DRY. Surprisingly dark. Solid bell. Medium-low to low in pitch. Plays like a larger cymbal but has the control of an 18". Focused. Chime-like attack. Controlled sustain. Fairly quick decay.
- Cuts a mix very well - in that Gadd-like way.
- Perfect for absolutely any genre at any volume. As versatile as the man who inspired it.
- Terrific shape. Natural patina. Aged 20 years. Strong logos. Collectible.
- A felicitous tribute to one of the greatest.
