Zildjian 20” Z Custom Ride Cymbal
Weight 2670 grams
The Zildjian 20" Z Custom Ride is a professional-grade ride cymbal designed for drummers who need maximum projection, bright attack, and clear stick definition. Originally introduced in the mid-1990s, it was discontinued in 2009 before the Z Custom line was reintroduced in 2024 with updated designs while retaining the aggressive character that made the originals popular.

Who It's For
The 20" Z Custom Ride is ideal for drummers who want a powerful, articulate ride that stays defined under heavy playing. If your style demands loud, aggressive cymbals with a strong bell and minimal muddiness, it's an excellent choice. Jazz or lighter pop players will generally find it too bright and heavy for those genres.
