I added cymbals one by one to my drum set and I was looking for a ride cymbal after the crash and splash cymbals. I was also looking out for a Zildjian Planet Z Ride Cymbal and I got this piece at a good price. Since this is a 20 inches ride cymbal, there is a lot of space to play around and as a result I get great sounds at various points on the cymbal. I like it.
