"Cuts with Flavor. Slices loud mixes free of ringy-metallic spandex sound. The 21" ride bell has a good ding & 23" ride bell has warm-round sound with savory wash below. Classic&Current. Sauce for days. . . P. S. Dear Zildjan, Would Yall make a 21" & 23" with the Raw Bell?"
"Lots of stick definition, very tonal and bright sound. Very lound and clear bell, and the 21” could be crashable in some situations."
"Still adjusting to the pitch and play difference of the smaller cymbal (21" A of 40 years, just wanted to try something different). New cymbal is very nice. Variety of play sounds. Does take more energy than the 21"."
"Bought this a few weeks ago, nicest ride I've ever owned! Sounds perfect in both my metal and jazz band. Zildjian all the way!"
"This 21" sweet ride was to bought to replace my forty five year old Zildjian 20" medium ride that handled years of playing gigs. I cannot say enough about Zildjian quality. This new 21" sweet ride sounds amazing!!"
"This cymbal is incredible. I needed a new ride for my vintage (mid-70s) Premier kit, and this cymbal was the perfect addition. For me it's sound reminds me of the ride cymbal sounds I heard as a child in the 60s and 70s."
"I've bought several cymbals from Zildjian, no complaints. Highly recommend"
