The Zildjian 22" A Custom Ping Ride brings a radical rotary hammering technique to the fore which results in an ultra-tight lathing and immensely glossy character and pairs that with a medium-heavy bow and enlarged bell for the utmost in stick articulation, hence the "Ping." A favorite of funk and fusion players for the amazingly present stick response for tight ride patterns, this is also a sleeper hit for thrash and speedier metal genres for just the same reason.
