The Zildjian A 20" Medium Ride is one of the most recorded and performed-on cymbals in history. Cast from B20 bronze and hand-hammered using techniques Zildjian has refined for over four centuries, this ride delivers the balanced combination of stick definition and wash that has defined the sound of popular music since the A series debuted in the 1930s.

At medium weight, it offers versatility across styles. The ping sits clearly on top of a warm bed of overtones, giving you definition for pattern riding and enough body for crashes and swells. Whether you're playing jazz, rock, pop, funk, or anything in between, the A Medium Ride responds musically to every dynamic level. This is the ride cymbal that professionals measure all others against.
