Description

Thanks to its thinner profile, the 21″ Traditional Original Ride responds quickly and opens up with ease, producing a broad, musical wash while still retaining usable stick definition. Its dynamic sensitivity makes it especially rewarding for expressive players, adapting smoothly to subtle strokes and more forceful playing without feeling rigid or restrictive.

Sound & Feel:

Wide harmonic spread with rich, complex overtones
Highly dynamic response that reacts to playing intensity
Softer, more open stick definition compared to heavier rides
Musical wash that blends naturally into the overall kit sound

Built to Perform:

Handcrafted from premium B20 bronze
Thinner profile for enhanced responsiveness and expression
Fully lathed top and bottom for classic Traditional tone
Individually hand-hammered and finished in Turkey

Ideal For:

Drummers seeking maximum expression and tonal flexibility from a ride cymbal
Jazz, fusion and dynamic contemporary styles
Players who prefer a more open, crashable ride sound
Studio and live performances requiring a wide dynamic range
