Well-balanced dark ride with ample stick sound, clear bell and touch of dryness for all applications.

Sized and shaped for versatility, the S Dark Ride is a solid, all-purpose ride option for drummers who lean darker in their cymbal sound. Excellent blend, stick response, and a clear bell round out this balanced ride, which also resonates with lower overtones and a hint of dryness.

You may notice color variation across your S Dark cymbals. Their unique look is from a custom coating that is individually hand-finished by our cymbal craftsmen. This process allows no two S Dark cymbals to look identical - making your cymbals unique to you. Any aesthetic variation from our hand-finishing process still delivers a consistent sound profile.
