  • WHY IT MATTERS: these cymbals will make your kit sound and look professional; plus, the big assortment makes it easy to find your voice whether it's just one piece or a matching complete set
  • WHAT'S IN THE BOX: one 22" ride cymbal; the Classics Custom Dark ride responds with clear and distinct stick definition followed by a darker sustain; the bell sound is pronounced and easily cuts through with minimal effort
  • DRIVING THE SOUND: made of durable B12 bronze alloy weighted and shaped for loud volume; extra hammering and additional lathing dial-in overtones to give the cymbals a dark, but crisp sound and controlled decay
  • THE UPSIDE FOR YOU: you'll be heard next to distortion charged guitar amps or in wide-open, large rooms without sounding crazy bright or ringy
  • ONE BIG THING: the great-looking dark finish is part of the cymbal making processnot just a coating that can wear offso it will last a lifetime; bands of extra lathing expose the natural bronze

  • Simply an Amazing Ride!
Style: Medium Size: 22"
What can I say about this ride... two words... BUY IT! This ride should be in any drummers ride collection. I own a 20” Zildjian K Heavy Ride and a 21” Byzance Dark Ride, both over the $350 + range and this ride beats both of them. Honestly my favorite ride. For the price is a bargain. The ping on this ride is awesome and the bell is clear. Won’t recommend to crash on it, the ride I received it’s pretty heavy, much heavier than my K Heavy Ride. Also I would recommend this ride most for Rock, but it can be used to many types of music. All depends the dynamics used on it. So happy with the purchase and the packaging was very professional. Do yourself a favor and BUY IT! Also people BE SAFE with the COVID-19. ... show more

  • not your usual hybrid!
Style: Crash/Ride Size: 22"
Ive never been a huge fan of crash/rides, solely because they usually are below average as both. This thing definitely defies that standard. Has a great warm tone with a very quick decay. Riding it I'd call it average as far a cleanliness and control. Nothing crazy, but the breadth of tones you can produce with out muddying the tone or washing out is amazing. The bell is nice and large and projects, you can crash it and ride the bell without even affecting the crash carrying out its duties. The crash is heavy and very gong like, great for heavy, or very textured/epic music. Dont even get me started on the looks. ... show more

  • Dark sound
Style: Medium Size: 22"
This is a dark and rich sounding ride cymbal. Played on the bell is loud and cuts well. Played with a nylon tip stick will brighten up the ping however it still dark. Wood tip stick deadens the ping a bit and its darker sound is pleasing.

  • Great ride cymbal
Style: Medium Size: 22"
This ride met and exceeded all expectations. Great ping that cuts through the track, especially when playing blasts at high bpm where every cymbal hit needs to be able to cut through the rest of the blast beat.
