Review: "Dry rides rarely pique my interest. Often burdened by a weird combination of over- and undertones, I usually find them impractical and unwieldy. That said, the Masters Collection Dark Dry Rides were not your prototypical drys.
At 20″ and 21″, these fairly similar cymbals didn’t spend much time on the stand together. I used each in a secondary position, and leaned a little more toward the 21″, because the tonal character was just a hair more subdued. That’s not to say that either fell victim to the wildness I’ve seen in other dry models. Each had a very pronounced stick supported by the earthy grit expected from a largely unlathed top. Very controllable and only mildly wild, these unique pies really won me over, finding an equally comfortable home in a folky indie rock rehearsal and a bluesy jam alike."
