Zildjian A Sweet Ride Cymbal Pack A391, A Series Cymbal Set
The A391 is a set of A Zildjian series cymbals in a traditional finish: 14" New Beat hi-hats, 16" and 18" medium thin crashes and a 21" Sweet Ride. It brings some of the brand's most played models together in one box, to outfit a full kit with a classic sound.
What sets it apart
- Four A series models in a traditional finish
- New Beat hi-hats, known for their versatility
- Two medium thin crashes, bright and responsive
- A 21" Sweet Ride, an all-purpose ride with colourful overtones
The four pieces
- New Beat 14" hi-hats: medium top, heavy bottom; a clear stick sound and a solid chick
- Medium Thin 16" crash: bright, quick to open
- Medium Thin 18" crash: same character, wider and longer
- Sweet Ride 21", medium thin weight: an all-round ride you can also crash
A classic sound, no surprises
The A series is known for bright, focused overtones and the ability to get loud when the music calls for it. The traditional finish keeps the look of lathed metal, more understated than the brilliant finish of the A Customs.
This set suits the drummer who wants a reference sound, the one heard across decades of records, rather than a strongly flavoured modern colour.
