Bringing together features like a medium-thin weight and design through a gradual bow which responds well to riding or crashing, a unique hammering pattern which emulates hand-hammering, and a mid-size bell for balanced volume and overtones, the Zildjian 18" K Crash Ride is a versatile option for any roster. smaller in size than its larger crash/ride counterparts, this particular model benefits from a more focused articulation thanks to the 18" size while still offering up a full, encompassing crash.
