The Dream Contact Series is known for a lively stick response and a bright presence, and this 20" Heavy Ride is no exception - but it adds a little extra weight for a lower fundamental pitch and more depth in the cymbal's resonance. This cymbal has a shimmering wash over a deep sustain, creating a driving energy in the sound.
This cymbal is lathed by hand with careful precision, while the slightly larger-than-average bell allows for some extra crashing power without getting in the way of sustain. This is a great ride for drummers who need a bit of versatility, but still want to aim for an energetic, bright sound overall.
