080-40998370The Zildjian K0819 22" Ride Cymbal is a flagship model in the iconic K Series, offering expansive ride tones with the dark, warm voice that drummers have relied on for generations. Crafted from Zildjian’s cast bronze alloy, this cymbal blends clear stick attack, a smoky undertone, and complex sustain, making it a favorite among jazz, fusion, singer-songwriter, and worship drummers.
Its medium-thin profile gives it a responsive feel under the stick, while still delivering pronounced ping across the bow and a clean, musical bell. The larger 22″ size adds both visual presence and broader dynamic range, allowing the cymbal to project with authority or speak with finesse, depending on your touch.
