Sound Pure's Take

This used Zildjian 21" K Custom Special Dry Ride Cymbal sounds great & is in good condition. Weighing in at 2404 grams, this cymbal has been played. Like most of these cymbals, there are natural scratches on the top of the cymbal with a couple of patina spots. No cracks, edge dings, or keyholing.

From Zildjian

Like Zildjian's popular Special Dry hi-hats and crashes, the Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Ride Cymbal is created with exclusive, radical hammering and lathing techniques. This unique cymbal maintains the dryness of the crash while offering a cutting stick sound. The 21" size is ideal for jazz and modern electronic music.
