Unlathed cymbals with a raw surface clearly showing every hammer mark which created the compact sound of these instruments. Meant for drummers who want that dry and compact sound, yet keeping the wide array of low overtones that’s so specific to hand hammered cymbals. For Rock, Jazz and everything inbetween. Dry. Compact. Raw. Controlled. Musical. Sound: the Jazz Ride is smoother and lower than regular model; light weight and low profile bell for washy, dark sound and clear stick sound
