This is a fun cymbal to use. It doesn't matter where you tap, the thing PINGS. You want wash? Sorry try to wash and you still get PING. The cymbal lives up to it's name precisely. But...you get a wide range of pings with different pitch and tone depending on where you're pinging. It has good bell too. If you want to try something different, try pinging with a timbale stick (no tip) - LOUD PING!!! But, there is a small secret about this cymbal. You CAN get WASH when you figure out this cymbal's personality and be nice to it. Be GENTLE. If you use the outer 2-3 inches with a gentle tap at 30-degrees (angled tap), Viola! This ride will bring a dry wash out of it's closet. OK Zildjian - I OUTED - your secret! there's a DRY WASH hiding in this ping-o-monster of a cymbal. So what I'm saying is, don't buy this cymbal with any wash expectations. It's ALL PING (all caps!) and fun to hit. But there is wash hiding in there. I stumbled into a pretty unique combination for riding. I use this cymbal for ping, and I use a Paiste Crush Ride for wash. With this setup, I get the bonus of crashing while washing or pinging (the rides are next to each other).Read full review
This is a very versatile ride cymbal. I previously owned a 90's era 20" ping ride (2750 grams) and this one is significantly thinner (2347 grams). Where the older model had a more distinct, glassy stick sound (it really couldn't be crashed) this one has more wash, spread and a thinner overall feel. My only question is "is it really still a ping ride?" I find it to be more like a medium ride (maybe a tad brighter). That's not a bad thing, it just lacks that supreme stick definition the previous model was known for. For those who found the original ping too heavy- this one may fit the bill. Its not a one trick pony.

I bought the 20” Ping Ride as an extra ride cymbal, as I have two different kits at two different locations for practice. The Ping Ride is now my go-to ride cymbal! It looks and sounds great. Great purchase decision!
