A while back there was some discussion of K Zildjian flat rides, and I mentioned regretting not having gotten one when I bought a set of K’s back in the ‘90’s.
At the time, David (phatsolid) was kind enough to offer me a trial spin on a 20” K light flat he has (had?), but I had just picked up a new Diril 20” Jazz Series flat ride, and it works well with both the K’s and another set of mixed Constantinoples and K Custom’s, and I passed. I think I had in the back of my mind making the next flat ride and 18”, recalling the 18” K Custom Flat Ride that Goki now has.
A couple of weeks ago I picked up an 18” K Flat Ride from about the same period as my K’s from Scott over at the museum, and have had a chance to spend a little time with it. I am glad I got an 18”, and am really liking it. I am not sure that I would use it for jazz so much, but it fits really nicely with the 20” K Ride as a second ride for a rock setup. I think a 20” K Flat Ride would have been too much like the K Ride.
Goki, I think you would really like this one, too, but don’t hold your breath on this one.
