Zildjian 21" A-Series Sweet Ride

Bought this crash a month ago and I have been struggling to make it work for myself. It's a really crash-y sounding Ride that might be more suitable for some punk/rock stuff. The wash of the cymbal is nice if that's what you're looking for. For me it lacks the important sensitivity and ping that's central in my playing. The bell was the biggest disappointment as I have to bash it really loudly to get a response from it.

It still has the typical lovely warm undertone that's a trademark for Zildjians. The sound is warm and dark-ish, probably because of the traditional finish.
