Review: "The Dry Dark Ride is the most unusual-looking of the five rides. It's a heavy, unlathed cymbal with a very dark surface that has been polished smooth. On top of that is a profusion of extremely heavy hammer marks. Although heavy playing can produce a bit of a "gong-y" overtone buildup, this ride has absolutely no shimmery wash whatsoever, and projects an extremely dry, precise stick attack. The clear, cutting sound of the large bell is quite distinct from that of the shoulder of the cymbal, which is deep and dark in pitch and tonality."
