The K Zildjian 24" Light Ride has become one of those modern classic ride cymbals. It's always spoken of in high esteem, but in those hushed tones of players who think they have an inside scoop, a secret they're bestowing on you, the chosen few.

Well, we're here to tell you just how awesome it is!

One of the largest cymbals in Zildjian's catalog, the 24" K Light is a unique blend of classic design features that results in a unique experience. It's on the lighter side of medium-thin, so it crashes easily, but it has a small bell, so it stays controlled, but it also has a tall umbrella-shaped bow, so it has a fairly high pitch for such a large cymbal, and that umbrella shape gives the stick attack a semi-dry midrange-forward "tah" sound.

If you've ever wanted a 24" Constantinople, this is about as close as it gets. If it had a bigger, flatter bell, it would basically be the Bill Stewart K Custom Dry Complex Ride!

These are now $649 new! Come get this one for way less!

This one's really clean, but it does have some stick marks on it.
