Zildjian A20522 20" A Custom Ping Ride – Brilliant
Extremely Bright, Crystal-Clear Ping with Cutting Precision
The Zildjian A20522 20" A Custom Ping Ride is built for drummers who need maximum clarity, brightness and definition in their ride patterns. As part of the A Custom family, this model features a stunning Brilliant finish, precision tonal grooves and a lower-profile design that enhances brightness, smoothness and top-end shimmer. Producing a crystal-clear "ping" with pronounced high-end frequencies, this ride cuts effortlessly through dense mixes – ideal for rock, fusion, pop, metal and studio applications where articulation must remain front-and-centre.
Strong Ping, High-End Presence and Glassy Tonal Character
Thanks to its Medium-Heavy weight, the 20" A Custom Ping Ride offers enhanced attack, reduced wash and excellent projection. The brilliant finish further sharpens the cymbal’s brightness, giving it a glassy, refined voice while preserving the colourful, warm undertones associated with the A Custom line. Its medium bell delivers a firm, articulate bell sound that is powerful enough for intricate patterns or accents.
