20" Zildjian K Custom Flat Top Ride cymbal – 2199g
Weight: 2199 grams
Serial Number: BJ 101669 020
Condition: Very good used condition; well cared for and fully functional with no issues.
A highly articulate and musical K Custom Flat Top Ride, designed for drummers who prioritize clarity, control, and precision. With its flat profile and refined K Custom voicing, this cymbal delivers exceptional stick definition without excessive wash, making it ideal for nuanced and dynamic playing environments.
Sound character:
Dry, focused, and controlled, with a pronounced, clean “click” from the stick tip. The cymbal allows the player to dig in confidently without overpowering an acoustic setting, while still retaining enough shimmer and harmonic content to remain lively and expressive. Articulation stays crystal clear even at very fast tempos, with every subdivision remaining audible.
As noted by Rick Mattingly, this ride excels from medium to blistering tempos, offering outstanding definition and balance. While slightly drier than a standard K Flat Top, it complements overtone-rich rides beautifully and fits effortlessly into jazz, fusion, and modern acoustic setups.
Highlights:
Excellent stick articulation and rhythmic clarity
Dry, controlled response with subtle shimmer
Ideal for acoustic jazz, trio settings, and fast tempos
Allows strong playing without excessive volume
Versatile complement to darker or more complex rides
Professionally packed and shipped worldwide from Portugal.
