19" Caz Crash/Ride : Warm and versatile!

I've never been a fan of crash rides. They always seem to be too "clangy" as crashes and too dull and undefined as rides.

HOWEVER, this one is a keeper for acoustic music.

Actually, I'd say it's 2/3 crash and 1/3 ride. Tip riding gives a warm dry "wash" whenever high volumes are not required. It is also excellent for bow riding on higher volume choruses. Never harsh or intrusive. As a crash it's very warm and sweet, everything I'd expect from a classic 'K'.

I've used this as the only cymbal in the kit (not counting the hihat) at acoustic gigs, it's superb!

I'm a big fan of the Zultan range. In my opinion they kill the budget series of the big makers! Even better, the Zultans totally hold their own compared to the really expensive stuff.
