20" K. Zildjian (Istanbul) Intermediate Stamp Ride 2360gr

This 20" K. Zildjian (Istanbul) Intermediate Stamp Ride might be the dream for every (studio) drummer doing pop and alike music. Because of its heavier weight, it has a clearer and brighter yet smokey and semi wooden stick definition than all those light ones that all jazz drummers are after. It does however still has all the characteristics of an old K. So it still has a nice amount of complexity and a dark chocolate sustain and low pitched fundamental tone. Clear and articulated bell, without getting to loud. The sustain of the cymbal is relatively short (or at least the first (louder) part of it. You could kill a little more with some tape if needed, without loosing the overall sound of the cymbal.
