The Planet Z Crash Ride 18" is a dual-purpose cymbal: a ride for patterns, a crash for accents. Bright and focused, it lets a beginner play everything with a single large cymbal next to the hi-hats.

What sets it apart
  • Medium-thin weight
  • Bright, focused sound
  • Good for ride patterns
  • Opens up easily as a crash

One cymbal, two motions

In the middle, the stick pulls a defined note for steady rhythms; on the edge, the same cymbal opens into a crash. Zildjian stresses that versatility and calls it a must-have, precisely because it replaces two cymbals when budget or space is short.

Still useful as the kit grows

Later on, the crash ride can keep its ride role once a 16" crash is added. It can also become a second crash, bigger and longer, the day you move to a proper 20" ride. It never becomes dead weight in the setup.

Frequently asked questions
Can you crash a ride cymbal?
According to Zildjian, the centre of a cymbal doesn't open up right away, while the edge responds immediately. A crash ride is built precisely so that the edge opens well.
Crash ride or ride?
The Planet Z Ride 20" is heavy and aims for pattern definition. The 18" crash ride, medium-thin, takes both jobs, at the cost of a little less clarity.
Which is bigger, the crash or the ride?
In the Planet Z line, the crash is 16", the crash ride 18" and the ride 20". The crash ride sits between the two, in size as in use.
