Zildjian A0043 22" A Ping Ride Cymbal w/ Drumstick Bag

TIGHT CUTTING PING THAT PROJECTS TIMEKEEPING TO THE FRONT: Medium-heavy weight and tight, cutting ping that projects your timekeeping to the front of any band or mix

EDGE BLOOMS INTO POWERFUL WASH WITH A CLEAN FOCUSED BELL: Opens into a powerful wash toward the edge for fills and chorus sections, while the bell stays clean and focused for hybrid patterns

MORE SUSTAIN AND HEADROOM THAN THE 20-INCH PING RIDE: The 22-inch size adds more sustain and projection than the 20-inch, making it the stronger choice for louder stages and larger rooms

VERSATILE ACROSS JAZZ ROCK FUSION AND BEYOND: From modern jazz to Nashville pop and driving rock, a Ping Ride that responds musically across any style and dynamic level

READY-TO-PLAY BUNDLE: Austin Bazaar adds drumsticks for immediate playing, a drumstick bag for stick storage and transport, and a polishing cloth to keep the cymbal clean after every session

The Zildjian A Series 22-inch Ping Ride delivers the same tight, cutting ping, high-end clear definition, and medium-heavy character as the 20-inch model, with more sustain and greater projection for louder environments, larger stages, and band mixes that demand more headroom. The tight, cutting character comes from medium-heavy weight that provides strong projection and long sustain across the stage and in the studio. Moving toward the edge the cymbal opens into a powerful wash for punching up chorus sections and fills, while the bell stays clean and focused throughout, making it ideal for hybrid patterns that blend standard timekeeping with bell work and edge accents. The 22-inch format adds more sustain and projection than the 20-inch Ping Ride, a stronger choice for louder stages, bigger rooms, and playing environments where the 20-inch does not provide enough headroom. From modern jazz and fusion timekeeping to Nashville pop and hard-driving rock, the Ping Ride responds musically at every dynamic level.
