The visually stunning and sonically pleasing 22" Meinl Dark Spectrum Ride offers the perfect combination of old world craftsmanship and modern technology. This very harmonic and musical ride transcends all musical genres and is geared towards drummers who are looking to add darker and organic, more esoteric sounds to their lineup. So while the Dark Spectrum Ride handles dark, lush jazz or acoustic tones with grace and aplomb, it’s also loud enough to aggressively cut through intense guitar wailings to enhance your musical possibilities.

Designed with lots of personal input from drumming virtuoso Rodney Holmes, the signature Spectrum Ride with its dark, low pitch, dry stick sound and fairly dark ping is steadfastly individual, but compliant enough to complement other cymbals in the group. A special spiral lathing exposes alternating glimpses of raw cymbal and it’s crowned with a musical bell that blends well with the rest of the cymbal. Even the appearance is unique.

The smoky, aged and heavily hammered look gives the cymbal the look of antiquity, and you don’t have to worry about fingerprints showing up on the finish. Meinl dark rides are expertly handcrafted in Turkey by passionate drumming enthusiasts. They create each cymbal one at a time from a durable B20 bronze alloy and an unprocessed surface finish so no two are ever exactly alike in look or sound characteristics.
