Versatile, Musical Tone

The ride cymbal offers a highly versatile sound that complements any drumming style. When played as a ride cymbal, it speaks with a bright ping and warm, shimmering sustain.

Distinctive Raw Bell

This raw area produces a clear, cutting tone when struck that provides nice musical contrast. The bell's prominent voice allows it to function almost like a second cymbal, giving you more options for crafting interesting drum parts and fills. Its unique aesthetic also enhances the visual appeal of this cymbal.
