{"product_id":"20-s-medium-ride","title":"Zildjian S Series 20\" Medium Ride","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Ride That Works Wherever You Play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery drummer needs a reliable ride at the center of their kit — one that holds a groove, responds to your stick, and gets out of the way when you need it to. The Zildjian S Series 20\" Medium Ride is exactly that cymbal. It strikes a genuine balance between stick definition and wash, making it comfortable across a range of styles without forcing you to commit to just one sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 20 inches, this is the sweet spot in the S Medium Ride lineup. It's big enough for a full, musical sound with plenty of sustain, but controlled enough that it won't swallow your mix. Whether you're keeping time on a jazz gig or locking into a rock groove, the 20\" size delivers what Zildjian calls a \"balanced blend\" — and it really does deliver on that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S Series sits in Zildjian's intermediate range, and it's a smart choice for drummers who are ready to step up from entry-level brass or B8 cymbals without breaking the bank on pro-tier B20 bronze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eB12 Bronze: The Sweet Spot in the Zildjian Lineup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZildjian's S Series is built from B12 bronze — an alloy of 88% copper and 12% tin. That places it right between Zildjian's budget B8 bronze and their premium B20 bronze, offering a balanced range of lows, mids, and highs with the shimmer and smokiness Zildjian is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a cymbal with a bright, modern character that cuts through a mix without being harsh or brittle. You get clarity where you need it — on the stick and in the bell — and enough warmth in the wash to round out your overall sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLathed, Hammered, and Brilliantly Finished\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the top and bottom of this ride are fully lathed, which opens up the sound and adds sustain. Extensive machine hammering tightens up the tone and helps it project evenly at different volumes. The brilliant finish isn't just for looks (though it does look sharp under stage lights) — it also contributes to the cymbal's brighter, more cutting character and increased sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium weight keeps the stick response crisp and the bell clear and defined. You'll hear your ride patterns with good articulation, and the bell has enough presence to cut through when you lean into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zildjian S Family (S Series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e B12 bronze (88% copper, 12% tin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lathed top and bottom for openness and sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHammering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extensive machine hammering for bright sound and even dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean stick response, defined bell, soft-edged wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle versatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for a wide range of musical styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zildjian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e S Medium Ride\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e S20MR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
