Sound Creation
- An entirely new sound color in ride cymbals. Due to the unique small bell the sparkling ping sound never gets lost. The ‘undertone’ or ring adds warmth and life to the sound, but this cymbal does not build up ‘overtones’ even when played forcefully.
The feeling of this cymbal is ‘warm and clear’. (1)
