Nice, Bright Ride

I was looking for a ride with a little brighter sound to go with my 20" ride. This cymbal has great stick definition, but it can ring on for quite a while. Overall, a great addition to my kit!

The most common effects cymbal is the china. This cymbal is marked by its upward facing lip around the edge that gives it a unique gong-like sound. Explosive, brash and bright attack with deep, dark and trashy undertones.
