This ride is THE RIDE. Everything - the bow, the bell, the crash - they're all amazing. Most of all - the crashability of the ride is one of the if not the best out there. It's also a very musical cymbal with a very large dynamic range. I haven't played it with a band yet so I can't tell if the bell will cut through enough, however playing it dry I found that when hit the right way you can achieve an amazing bell sound that has very unique tones, which I feel can also be quite loud if need be. What surprised me most was how light the cymbal is. It's a little over 2 kg and it's very thin especially towards the edge, which I guess is what allows for that amazing crashability. I've only played it a couple of hours at this point and I'm already in love. The only thing that might be an issue is that the whole cymbal activates very easily, however this is when played with 5BXL sticks which are very massive and have quite a large tip, so playing this ride with 7A's with nylon tips for example should produce a much more articulate result.

Perfect Bell / Amazing Crash Ride!

AlanPullen 23.03.2018

This ride stands out as one of the most versatile rides I have ever played, the loudness of the raw bell and the explosive crash sound it brings is amazing. However you can still play it quiet so don't worry about it overpowering anything. Top Bell, Top Ride, Top Crash!

MY GO TO RIDE CYMBAL

Liambrady_1 06.06.2022

This is my go to ride!

I use this for everything (gigging/recording). You get a clear ping when hitting the body of the cymbal as well as a standout ping from the bell.
The cymbal is thin so it can be used as a crash as well! When you lay into the cymbal you get this amazing wash of sound.
Would recommend this cymbal to anyone

Très bon produit.

Bloodshot_drummer 11.09.2019

Une ride très intéressante en live, elle a vécu 21 concerts depuis son achat et pas encore casser.

Elle a un bel avantage estétique et phonique, elle permet de varié les style.

Je la conseille aussi aux batteurs qui souhaitent trouver une ride de 21'' et qu'elle sonne aussi super en mode crash.

Franchement j'adore, je ne peux lui mettre 5/5 partout, car je serai pas objectif. La cloche sonne parfaitement, petite frequences chiante dans un mix 0.8 cm en dessous de la cloche.

Mais soyez conquis elle est sublime, et elle est vraiment un choix judicieux
