Frequently Asked Questions

The Flatride has a significantly darker, more controlled sound with less sustain and a flatter profile, while the Masters Ride offers a brighter, more projecting tone.
The ping is present, but it's subtle and integrated into the overall dark wash – it's a defining characteristic, not an overpowering element.
While designed for a more controlled sound, it still projects well and can be mic’d effectively, but it won’t cut through a loud, aggressive band like a brighter ride would.
