A Custom 25th Anniversary Ride 23 in. In 1992, the A Custom Series broke new ground in cymbal manufacturing techniques and is now considered one of the most iconic and popular cymbals in the world.

Each cymbal has also been hand signed by Craigie Zildjian and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The 25th Anniversary Ride features symmetrical hammering, a brilliant finish, a clear and cutting bell and is crashable with a medium-thin weight for a well-balanced sound.
