Premium B10 Bronze Construction

Its premium construction also provides longevity so you can rely on this cymbal for years to come.

Versatile, Musical Tone

The ride cymbal offers a highly versatile sound that complements any drumming style. When played as a ride cymbal, it speaks with a bright ping and warm, shimmering sustain. The stick response allows for articulate ride patterns and bell work. Its full-bodied tone also works well for accenting backbeats. Overall, this cymbal's adaptability makes it a great all-purpose option for any gig or recording session.

Distinctive Raw Bell

A highlight of the dark ghost ride is its raw, unlathed bell. While the bow and edge of the cymbal feature MEINL's brilliant finish, the bell retains its natural surface. This raw area produces a clear, cutting tone when struck that provides nice musical contrast. The bell's prominent voice allows it to function almost like a second cymbal, giving you more options for crafting interesting drum parts and fills. Its unique aesthetic also enhances the visual appeal of this cymbal.
