Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "This ride cymbal has some seriously complex tonal qualities. The 24” size allows it to have different sounds depending on where and how hard you hit it. This makes it a versatile ride cymbal.
It has a good blend of darkness, washiness, and dryness. It growls when you crash on it and has a smooth decay once hit. The dry wash has just enough attack to stand out when playing with other loud musicians.
It has good stick articulation and feels bouncy to ride on. It’s smooth and is easy to play fast rhythms on even with its large size. The bell sounds fantastic, providing a dark and complex ping.
24” rides aren’t for everybody. Some drummers may find it too big to fit comfortably into their setup. However, this truly is one of the best sounding ride cymbals around. "
