Built with a medium-thin bow for an easy response under the lightest taps, medium bell for a balanced wash and focused sustain, and a bright tonality present in any mix, the Zildjian A 18" Crash Ride brings the best of two drum set staples into one package. Capable of operating easily as a left-side ride, this hybrid also functions well as a primary ride for those with a taste for tighter articulation thanks to the smaller size for a ride.
