With a medium weight, raw lathing, and a dark unfinished bell that's immensely present in any setting, the Meinl 20" Classics Custom Dark Ride captures the brightness inherent in the series with a dark twist. Built on a foundation of bronze-rich B10 alloy which amplifies the trebled portion of the frequency spectrum, the dark lathing on this model provides the warmth and additional overtones typically absent from brighter cymbals. As visually striking as it is sonically, this balanced tone makes the cymbal an excellent candidate in any genre where a defined articulation is desired.
