This Legend Dry Ride from Istanbul Mehmet is a beautifully crafted cymbal offering a very controlled, dry sound with surprising complexity. It’s perfect for players in jazz, fusion, or anyone seeking a sophisticated, understated ride – especially those who appreciate a darker, more nuanced tone rather than a washier, brighter response. The hand-hammering really shines here, adding a unique feel and sonic texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

2B20 generally produces a darker, more complex tone with less sustain than B20, offering a more 'dry' and controlled sound.
No, each cymbal is hand-hammered, meaning the pattern and resulting sonic characteristics will vary slightly, guaranteeing a unique instrument.
It responds well to subtle dynamics, but requires a controlled stroke to avoid a 'woody' sound; softer felt or nylon tips will work best to maintain the dry character.
