- 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 process—not just a coating that can wear off—so it will last a lifetime; bands of extra lathing expose the natural bronze
- BEST FOR: rock, metal, fusion, worship; ALSO GREAT FOR: high-energy pop, R&B, funk

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply an Amazing Ride!
*by T***T on March 31, 2020*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ not your usual hybrid!
*by R***C on January 13, 2017*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was a hit. 🥁
*by E***Y on February 5, 2025*

This was a gift for my partner, and he was obsessed! Highly recommend for the drummers in your life.
