The K Ride is a solid all-round ride for any gig. At 20 inches it is the more controlled of the two sizes Zildjian makes.

It delivers clear, full stick definition with low overtones, so ride patterns stay articulate without building up excess wash.
Randomised traditional hammering, a very low curvature and smooth lathing give the K Ride its focused, musical character.
The K Ride also crashes well at lower volumes, making it useful for accents as well as time-keeping.
The K Ride was among the first K models made when Zildjian began producing K cymbals in the USA in 1982. It is also made in 22" (K0819).
It is medium weight.
Yes. It crashes well at lower volumes.
The 20" is the more controlled option. The 22" (K0819) adds volume, projection and wash.
A Traditional finish, with smooth lathing and randomised traditional hammering.
