Zultan 20" Caz Ride

During my 35+ years career as Jazz drummer is was always looking for the right cymbals. During those years I have played on a lot of brands but i was never fully satisfied.

So while doing my ever going search for the right sound I came across the Zultan Caz series that I've found interesting because these cymbals are thinner than the average cymbal. I have already sung my praise over the 21 Caz sizzle ride and the praise is going on for the 20 Caz ride.

This is the ride I was looking for! A bright sound, singing nicely with a little restraint, very clear and smooth. Perfectly suited for the role as second ride together with the 21 Caz sizzle ride. This is also a very oldfashioned sounding cymbal in the good sense of word that is!

One little remark about this cymbal. It's not suitable for heavy hitters. You have to play it nice and softly, then the rich sound will come off nicely. When you hit it hard as ride cymbal the sound will blow up with every stroke.

As said in my other review; the Caz series will be a permanent part of my setup now and they go even with me on my upcoming studio project.
