Review: "The Dark Full Ride retained some of the darkness and dry-ness of the Dark Crash Ride (though it was much too heavy to be crashed), while offering greater volume. That volume is in the wash of the cymbal, but it wasn't so much that it kept the stick attack from being clear and defined. This cymbal could be used in any situation, but I might best describe its character as being a "very loud jazz ride.""
