Used Zildjian 21" Brilliant Sweet Ride Cymbal 1041409K

[RockbandDrummer321]

That's the most awkward place to have a ride

[blica1]

@RockbandDrummer321 not if your a jazz drummer..it's 1 of the most common places to have a ride if you play jazz..

@blica1 thats for open handed...

[MrMutron]

THE BRILLIANT FINISH IS ALOT MORE METALIC SOUNDING THAN THE NATURAL. I TRIED BOTH AT THE STORE, AND THE NATURAL FINISH WAS FAR BETTER, SMOOTHER, AND SWEETER THAN THE BRILLIANT. KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN BUYING THIS CYMBAL.

[dudewuttheheck]

@MrMutron not really. I have a brilliant sweet ride and it's far darker than the traditional finish sweet rides I have heard/played. It really just depends on the individual cymbal itself. The finish can make a difference, but the actual properties of the cymbal itself make a bigger difference. Also, my brilliant sweet ride has broken in beautifully and it has a warm and full crash better than any traditional sweet ride I have ever heard.

[enjoi4486]

is this cymbal durable? cause im looking for a pretty crashable, durable ride.

[StarrRng2]

@enjoi4486 this ride is a very good crash ride but they are known for cracking easily

[enjoi4486]

@StarrRng2 okay, thank you i don't want to waste my money on something that will break in a matter of months. Do you have any recommendations?

[StarrRng2]

@enjoi4486 any k cymbal would be better but it matters how much youre willing to spend and depending on how you play it youre sweet ride could last long

[enjoi4486]

@StarrRng2 yeah, im a medium heavy hitter using promark 747 b(thick) sticks ha ha. i may look towards sabian

[TheBeatleDrummer]

just got this cymbal and it is amazing!!!!

[zapatero39]

i hate this cymbal, has no ride soun at all & the crash is far too bright...... weird cuse the natural finish is awsome

[Joshdafunk]

i need some help i play in a hard rock band and im looking for a good ride im stuck between this or the 22" a custom ping ride please help and tell me what you think

[JackassKing95]

@Joshdafunk get this the only good ping ride is the 22 a ping ride the others just have this really annoying sound to them the sweet ride is amazing in person and the traditional sounds much better

[aldoinsomnia]

Traditional finish --> best sound

[The1ne07]

the brilliant finish also gives it more of a pingy property

[xlkylife94]

the natural sounds better

[blica1]

finishes always make a difference !! if it's polished to a brilliant finish the grooves on the cymbal are smoother and that obviously will change the dynamic of the cymbal itself..ever hear a zildjian pitch black cymbal?..those cymbals have soo much decay that it's ridiculous.ever hear hear a jack dejohnette raw cymbal with that earthy finish?..they sound like trash can lids but that's the sound he loves so there you have it !!

[drumboarder1]

[whattabeaver]
