Cymbal:You can only have one choice. Right now, which is your favorite ride you own?

[marc3k]

Agop 30th 22, 2227g. Seems like an early version model.

 

[mpungercar]

Right now? Put me down in the Paiste 24" Giant Beat camp as well.

 

[JDA]

easy;
Bosphorus Thin Turk Ride 22"
that I don't own yet.
haven't yet second hand near new found
but it will be the next one.
See? easy..

 

[JDA]

and I'll say this- going backwards- is rare
not unheard of- but rare

Now. Standing Pat.
Makes sense.
Just resist temptation (you ain't weak are ya?)
no. You're strong. And stick with- milk your new acquisitions fully - Be content.

Until you can steal your next dream.
(I mean monetarily)

Be content.

Do the K sweets vary in weight like the A sweets? How much does your 21" weigh?

My 21" weighs in at 2356g

 

[ThomasL]

22" Lauritsen BSC. Note that I am still allowed to bring my 18" Spizz as a crash

 

[charlesm]

Ooooh. "Tangy".
Like special sauce?

Well, it's not a real exotic cymbal...we'll say ketchup on meatloaf.

Ha! Excellent analogy.

 

[DrumKeys]

22" Paiste 602 classic reissue!

 

[Cannons]

Newer A Zildjian medium ride (2075g).

 

[culture trash]

I feel like it would come down to my 21" k sweet and my Meinl Byzance 21" transition, but the edge goes to the transition. Seeing a lot of love for Paiste on here...methinks I need to get myself a Paiste ride!

 

[HalldorL]

Meinl Byzance 21” Transition ride

 

[DBT]

Old faithful : my 78’ 22” A Hollow Logo.

 

[ludwigfire]

My Paiste masters 21" medium ride is my go to for multi cymbal setups. If it is just ride and hats, my 21" Mehmet '70s nostalgia.

Meinl Byzance 21” Transition ride

Good choice…beautiful cymbal.

 

[GMFrancis]

Right now a 24” 2002 Big Beat. Nice defined ride sound and a big crash. You can do a gig on it as your only cymbal.

 

[Johnny K]

I have a lot of rides, but If I could only keep one...My 22" vintage 60's Stamp Avedis. The Swiss army knife of ride cymbals IMHO.

 

[Johnny K]

24” Avedis Zildjian block stamp. It’s 3600 grams of 1950’s perfection.

I have one of those, but it's a 70's era. Even has the same grommet on it. I was my 2nd favorite GoTo ride until I got a 24" K Light.

 

[varatrodder]

Yeah, it has quite the key hole, so I added a grommet for extra protection.

 

[nchia]

Craig Laurtisen 22" Rustico. To me, the perfect jazz ride at the perfect weight.
