Sabian HH Vintage Ride 21'' - sanjuro's review
This Hand Hammered Vintage Ride is another great cymbal from the Sabian lines. In general, I often only use the HHX line because I find them slightly more versatile for my kind of music. However, t…
Paiste Signature Reflector Dry Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review
The Paiste Signature Reflecor Dry Ride is one of the most interesting cymbals I have ever seen or heard. I knew about the line for a while, but hadn't come across one of these until last year. I wa…
Paiste Signature Dry Ride 20" - sanjuro's review
The Paiste Signature Dry Ride is my favorite paiste ride, and I have played almost all of them. My biggest fault with the sound of many Paiste cymbals is that they are too wet, too bright, and too p…
Paiste Signature Dark Crash/Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review
The Paiste Signature Dark Crash Ride is a very cool and useful cymbal. Few crash rides can cut it amongst high end cymbals, because usually rides are better at riding and crashes are better at crash…
Zildjian A Sweet Ride 21" - sanjuro's review
The Zildjian sweet ride is another good (not great) cymbal from the Zildjian A line. I was eager to play this cymbal for a long time because I had always heard it was versatile and smooth. I had pl…
Sabian AA Raw Ride 20" - sanjuro's review
I was first introduced to the Sabian AA raw ride when I was looking through lots of Zildjian k and Sabian hh jazz rides. I always thought that the best jazz sounds come from these higher end lines. …
Zildjian A Custom Ping Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review
The A custom ping ride is one of the best cymbals in the A custom line. Its coated exterior produces a beautifully smooth "ping" (the name says a lot) sound that blends with the music it is played w…
Sabian HHX Stage Ride 20" - sanjuro's review
This is the most versatile ride I have ever used. Obviously, personal preference plays a big part of any cymbal purchase. However, time and time again, I am impressed by the sounds this cymbal prod…

Zildjian K Custom Ride 18" - moosers's review
I've been using the Zildjian K Custom Ride Cymbal 18" for about two years for recording, and while I'm not a drummer, I find I get some great results when I record drums with this cymbal. It has…
Zildjian A Ping Ride 20'' - moosers's review
I've been using the Zildjian A Ping Ride Cymbal for recording for about four years. This cymbal is made from brass and is extremely well built and sturdy. This is definitely a cymbal that will last a…
Zildjian A Ping Ride 20'' - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by mpcvore/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Someone lent me this ride cymbal a few days ago and I used it already two times. So it's possible that I update this review …
Zildjian A Ping Ride 20'' - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by minix/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Great cymbal I've been using since 2004. When I bought it I liked very much the sound of several rock drummers who used it. It…
Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride 20'' - FateFelledVictim's review
I have been using the Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride for about 5 months now, and it has been and shall always be my main ride cymbal. It has a dark melodic wash with a piercing bell. The overtones of th…
Zildjian Impulse - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by poupaja/translated from Audiofanzine FR) This model was created in the early 80's to compete with Paiste's Rude Series and it was discontinued later. Consider the quality and …
Zildjian A Custom Sizzle Ride 20" - superapollo's review
I've had my Zildjian cymbals since I began putting together my set 12 months ago. This ride gives me everything I need in a "go to" cymbal which I keep to my right. When you find the sweet …
Zildjian Avedis Ping Ride 20" - BGugino's review
After house-sitting for one of my drum teachers, instead of getting paid, he gave me his 20” Zildjian Ping Ride. I have been playing it for about 1 or 2 months now and don’t plan on getting any other…
Sabian Paragon Ride 22" - goodbyebluesky's review
I've been on a search for the perfect ride, and I think I found it. Problem is- I can't afford it, more on that later. Sabian's Paragon cymbals are made in Canada, just the man behind these cymbals; …
Zildjian A Custom Ping Ride 20'' - goodbyebluesky's review
I used this 20" Ping Ride from the A Custom line for a short while. I'm not typically a fan of ping rides or dry rides since I've come to like (and expect) a good wash underneath the ever presen…
Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride 20'' - goodbyebluesky's review
I've used this cymbal off and on for a while now. Everything from the K Custom series are well-made cymbals and sound wise are a cut above your average cymbal, but the K Custom Dry Ride stands out as…
Paiste 2002 Deep Full Ride 22'' - goodbyebluesky's review
I owned my 2002 22" ride for a few years before sadly parting with it. I had it paired with an 18" crash from the 2002 series, and they were a match made in heaven, though I wished I could …
