1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 21-inch Zildjian A Custom ride from the line's 20th Anniversary run. For drummers wanting a larger ride with ping and spread.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers who want more wash and sustain than a 20-inch ride
- Live players needing a ride that carries over a loud band
- Anyone wanting one ride that covers ping and crash work
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small kits or tight stages, where 21 inches crowds the setup
- Players who want a dry, controlled stick sound
- Drummers on a first cymbal budget

Detail 02
Ride cymbal
Built for sustained pattern playing on the bow and bell, not for short accents like a crash.

A Custom series
Zildjian's brilliant-finish line, aimed at cutting through in live and studio settings rather than dark subtlety.

$494.95

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is 21 inches different from a 20-inch ride?
Lower pitch, longer sustain and more wash, with a slightly heavier feel. It also takes up noticeably more space over the kit.
02Can I crash on it?
Yes. A 21-inch ride will open up when struck on the edge, though it responds slower than a dedicated crash.
03Is the anniversary version different from a standard A Custom ride?
It's a commemorative 20th Anniversary release in the A Custom line. Treat it as a limited run rather than a permanent catalog item.
04Does it come with a cymbal stand?
No. Stand, sleeve and felt washers are separate. Only the cymbal is included.
