Zildjian A0082 23" A Series Sweet Ride 2970g – Used

The Zildjian 23" A Series Sweet Ride is a modern classic—big, bold, and endlessly musical. Crafted from legendary A Zildjian alloy, this ride delivers a rich, warm wash with clear stick definition and a powerful, shimmering crash when pushed. Its larger 23" diameter provides added depth and complexity, making it a favorite among drummers who want one cymbal that can do it all.

This used example weighs 2970g and is in very good condition. There is a slight patina in spots and a very minor keyholing, both purely cosmetic and common for a well-cared-for cymbal of this caliber. No cracks or structural issues. Please see photos for full details.
