Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 18-inch Zildjian A Series Uptown Ride is a smaller ride built around controlled, dry response and strongly pronounced stick definition. Its unlathed top and bottom surfaces keep the sound tightly defined, with minimal overtones and sustain. For players shaping ride parts where the stick needs to remain at the foreground, it presents a focused alternative within an 18-inch ride format.
