Sweet cymbals with a traditional finish
The Zildjian A-Series Sweet Ride cymbals have an impressively clear, bright overall sound that makes them very versatile. All the cymbals in this series and this set are machined from high-quality B20 bronze, consisting of 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin. The surfaces have an attractive traditional finish: The light hammer indentations and the fine lathing patterns also give the cymbals a particularly attractive look. The A-Series Sweet Ride Cymbal Set includes a 14" A-New Beat Hi-Hat, 16" and 18" A-Thin Crashes, and a 21" A-Sweet Ride.

Bright and sweet
All cymbals in the A-Series Sweet Ride Cymbal Set have a bright character and quick response. They're sure to convince even the most exactign ears with their clean, detailed sound, which isn't to say they can't get loud: They can! The New Beat Hi-Hat offers a defined stick sound and a solid 'chick' which cuts through any mix with ease. The Sweet Ride, with its gentle wash, proves to be an extremely flexible model, which offers a high definition even with faster playing styles and is also easy to crash at the same time. Finally, the thin crash cymbals respond extremely quickly and, as the volume or playing intensity increases, will produce a lot of rich, long-lasting wash.

About Zildjian
The Avedis Zildjian company is one of the world's oldest manufacturers of musical instruments. In addition to cymbals and gongs, the Zildjian range also includes drumsticks, percussion mallets, and accessories. The company's history dates back to 1618, when an Armenian, Avedis Zildjian, made his first cymbals from tin, copper, and silver near Constantinople. In the early 20th century, the company moved its headquarters to the United States, where a short time later the era of big bands and Swing music began. Zildjian worked closely with the most famous drummers of that era and over the decades earned an excellent reputation among Jazz drummers. Since Ringo Starr led the way more recently, Zildjian cymbals have also become increasingly popular among Rock drummers, and today the range includes cymbals for every conceivable genre, ranging from affordable entry-level cymbals to handmade models of the very highest quality.
Spoilt for choice
The Zildjian A series consists of a wide range that includes many different types of cymbals in different sizes, so drummers can always expand the A-Series Sweet Ride cymbal set with other hi-hat, crash, ride, and effect cymbal models that match the series. Particularly noteworthy are the china cymbals – which achieve a different sound not only thanks to their size, but also through specific production techniques – as well as the large 22" Swish Knocker cymbal, which has 20 rivets attached to the underside that help create an extraordinary sizzle effect and an ultralong sustain.
