The signature ride of drummer Noriaki Kumagai from the successful Japanese jazz fusion band Trix. Thick and heavy, the uniquely sized 19" Dark Sky Ride delivers the same vast and deep sound characteristics as Meinl's 20" dark ride, only with a higher stick pitch and faster response.
If you're looking for a ride that offers you the infinite power of musical expression, along with a warm earthy sound, fairly short sustain and defined ping, your search is over. Meinl Byzance Dark Sky Ride is designed to maximize sound projection without the drummer having to expend a lot of energy.
Never mass produced, the Dark Sky Ride cymbal is as individual as you are and skillfully handcrafted in Turkey from enduring B20 bronze alloy. It's literally pockmarked by the hand-hammered blows felled by the artisan in order to pound the cymbal into shape. Each one has a look and sound that is consistently repeated from one ride to the next, but never exactly duplicated. Purchase the Dark Sky Ride and you own a true work of art and a unique original. The ride cymbal's raw, unlathed and untreated playing surface is reminiscent of an aged antique and produces a low frequency range with esoteric character.
