Zildjian A Custom 21" 20th Anniversary Ride – Unplayed
Regular Price: $494.95
SKU: A20822
Special limited-edition ride cymbal commemorating 20 years of A Custom brilliance — featuring a cream-white logo, unique anniversary trademark, and the signature blend of clarity, shimmer, and balance that defines the A Custom sound.
DETAILS
To celebrate two decades of A Custom innovation, Zildjian released this commemorative 21” Anniversary Ride. It’s everything players love about the A Custom series — versatile, brilliantly finished, and designed with symmetrical hammering for balance across dynamic styles.
Whether you're laying down crisp articulation in a fusion group, playing bright rock accents, or voicing intricate bell patterns in Latin music, this ride delivers. Its medium-thin profile ensures sensitivity without losing presence — and the limited-edition aesthetics make it a standout both sonically and visually.
This cymbal is unplayed and in mint condition — collector-worthy, yet fully performance-ready.
Commemorates the 20th anniversary of the A Custom series
Bright, clean articulation with smooth overtones
Loud, defined bell for Latin and fusion applications
Cream-white anniversary logo + exclusive trademark
A true collectible with everyday versatility
STR Rating (Style, Tonality & Response)
Style: 4/5 – Balanced across rock, fusion, pop, and Latin
Tonality: 4/5 – Crisp top end, controlled mids, shimmering highs
Response: 4/5 – Excellent articulation with a slightly dry decay
STR = Style, Tonality & Response — Nick’s Drum Gear’s custom system to help players match cymbals with their real-world applications.
Genre Match
Rock / Pop / CCM 4/5
→ Articulate ride definition, bright bell for clarity in modern worship and pop rock.
Latin / Funk / Fusion 4/5
→ The loud bell is ideal for clave-based patterns, while the body stays responsive for syncopation and ghost-note textures.
Jazz / Indie / Experimental 3/5
→ Not as dry as jazz players might prefer, but its wash and shimmer lend character to modern or eclectic styles.
R&B / Gospel / Hip-Hop 4/5
→ Great stick attack and bell clarity for pocket grooves, loops, and syncopated hi-hat-to-ride transitions.
Metal / Prog / Hardcore 3/5
→ Can cut through in lighter metal genres, but not as heavy or sharp as dedicated metal rides. Better suited for technical or melodic prog.
SPECS
Diameter: 21”
Weight: Medium Thin
Finish: Brilliant
Family: A Family
Nick’s Notes:
A no-compromise blend of versatility and elegance. This cymbal sounds stunning and looks even better with the cream-white commemorative branding. And since it’s unplayed, it’s perfect for both collectors and players looking for a flawless ride with a bright personality.
Every cymbal is carefully inspected, packed with care, and shipped fully insured to ensure it arrives safely and exactly as described.

Note on Brilliant-Finish Cymbals
Brilliant-finish cymbals are polished and buffed to achieve their reflective appearance. As a result, fingerprints, light handling marks, polishing swirls, finish variation, and minor factory handling evidence may be visible under direct lighting or close inspection. These cosmetic characteristics are common on brilliant-finish cymbals and do not affect performance, structural integrity, or sound quality.
