DreamDark Matter Flat Earth Ride 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 20 in. Dark Matter Flat Earth Ride joins Dream's repeated-firing Dark Matter treatment with a small bell and an almost flat bow profile. Its sound is characterized as salty, gritty, and dry while retaining the life associated with a hand-hammered ride. That flattened profile creates a vintage-style wobble as the cymbal is played, making its physical response part of the experience. It is a single cast-alloy ride with bow lathing, hand hammering, a raw bell, and a proprietary gray finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players looking for a dry, gritty 20 in. ride with a near-flat profile.
- Playing where the cymbal's vintage-style wobble is part of the desired response.
