Cast Bronze for Optimal Tone

The 21" Sweet Ride is cast from Zildjian's proprietary bronze alloy of 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin, which gives Zildjian cymbals their distinctive sound. The casting process allows impurities and air bubbles to escape, resulting in an optimally dense, musical alloy. After casting, the 21" Sweet Ride is lathed and traditionally wide-groove hammered, which brings out shimmering overtones and a balanced, controlled sustain.
