This 900 Series Heavy Ride is a workhorse – built to last and deliver a big, solid sound. It’s ideal for rock, funk, and any genre needing a powerful, defined ride cymbal with a warm core, but those seeking incredibly complex shimmering tones might want to look elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 900 Series is brighter and more direct; the Signature Dark is significantly darker, more complex, and more expensive.
While versatile, its heavy weight and powerful bell make it less ideal for very quiet jazz; a lighter, thinner ride would be more appropriate.
A thicker, harder stick like a 5A or 5B will help cut through the weight and bring out the full power of the bell.
