Overview

This vintage Zildjian A Avedis 21" ride cymbal delivers the classic sound that made Avedis Zildjian cymbals a staple in studios, clubs, churches, and touring rigs for decades. With a warm fundamental tone, clear stick articulation, musical wash, and a balanced bell response, this cymbal is versatile enough for rock, jazz, blues, worship, country, and virtually any modern playing situation.
