ZILDJIAN 21" A Sweet Ride | A 21" Sweet Ride Cymbal

One of the most-loved rides of the modern era: sweet by name, sweet by nature.

At 21" with a thin-to-medium profile, unlathed bell and traditional finish, the A Sweet Ride blends warm, washy crashability with just enough stick definition to hold a groove together. It breathes underneath your playing rather than fighting it — which is why you hear it everywhere from indie records to worship stages and jazz clubs.

About Zildjian

Zildjian's story stretches from the court of the Ottoman Empire to the modern touring stage: founded in Constantinople in 1623, the family firm has been making cymbals for 400 years and counting. Generations of drummers — from big-band legends to metal and hip-hop players — have built their sound on Zildjian bronze, and every cymbal is still crafted in Norwell, Massachusetts.
