Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
After more than two years of research and development, Zildjian created the S series with the goal of offering cymbals with an expressive and balanced character, while relying on modern manufacturing techniques. Within the manufacturer's lineup, the S series is positioned as a modern and versatile solution, designed to provide great musicality and reliable performance both in rehearsal and live settings, with a consistent sonic identity across the entire series.
Who This Drum/Cymbal Is For
The Zildjian S Rock Ride 20 is aimed at advanced beginners, intermediate, and experienced drummers seeking a ride cymbal capable of keeping time with authority, while remaining nuanced enough to work on dynamics. Its "Rock Ride" orientation is particularly suited to contexts where the ride must stay audible as volume increases: rock, pop rock, punk, accessible metal, indie, modern worship, as well as funk and pop genres where a clear pulse and well-defined ride pattern are preferred.
It is also relevant for a home studio drummer who wants an easy-to-control cymbal with clear presence and articulation that captures well, especially during steady eighth-note playing or more open choruses.
