Zildjian A20524 22" A Custom Ping Ride – Brilliant
Maximum Clarity, High-End Presence and Unmistakable Ping
The Zildjian A20524 22" A Custom Ping Ride delivers one of the brightest, most articulate ride sounds in the A Custom line. Designed with Zildjian’s advanced rotary-hammering and precision tonal grooves, this cymbal produces an exceptionally clear, cutting "ping" that stands out in dense mixes. Its Brilliant finish enhances both visual appeal and top-end sheen, making it an ideal choice when clean ride patterns or articulate sticking must stay clearly defined – even in high-volume situations.
Big Ride Tone with More High-End and Long Sustain
At 22", this Ping Ride brings all the glassy brightness of the A Custom series but with additional body, sustain and projection. Its medium-heavy weight boosts stick definition while controlling wash, ensuring every stroke remains sharp and present. The enlarged bell delivers a strong, cutting bell tone perfect for accents, metal patterns or funk-fusion riding. The result is a ride cymbal that feels powerful, polished and effortlessly modern.
