Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
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."

Review: The name is apt - this is indeed dry, at least for such a heavy cymbal. There are some overtones, but they are hidden under a very distinct "ping". The unlathed surface gives this an "airy" quality, like that of the RUDE series, a bit unrefined, but not unruly. Quick sticking is no problem, and when doing this, there is a low roar that builds up, albeit under the "ping", which is on the loud side of the spectrum.
