'''Review:''' "The Dry Dark Ride is the most unusual-looking of the five rides. It's a heavy, unlathed cymbal with a very dark surface that has been polished smooth. On top of that is a profusion of extremely heavy hammer marks. Although heavy playing can produce a bit of a "gong-y" overtone buildup, this ride has absolutely no shimmery wash whatsoever, and projects an extremely dry, precise stick attack. The clear, cutting sound of the large bell is quite distinct from that of the shoulder of the cymbal, which is deep and dark in pitch and tonality." <br>

'''Review:''' "Now this time the name is right on the money. This cymbal is dry indeed; its unlathed surface produces a distinct stick ping with no accompanying "shimmer" or "sibilance" whatsoever. And that stick ping is, indeed, dark-sounding: deep in pitch, warm, and funky. (The cymbal is also actually dark in color; its unlathed surface retains the look it had when it left the cymbal oven.) With a big, heavy bell, the cymbal can build up a bit of a gongy roar when ridden fast and hard. Those who are looking for the ride-cymbal equivalent of a tuba should check this guy out." <br>
