The Paiste 900 Series 24" Mega Ride Cymbal is serious bang for your buck. Crafted from Paiste's legendary CuSn8 bronze alloy, and refined with Swiss craftsmanship by hand hammering and lathing, this massively heavyweight ride has a special darker finish that amplifies the lathing grooves and hammer marks for a gorgeous appearance that blends roughness and elegance. The thickness gives it a slightly higher pitch than the Heavy Ride, but has dark, complex, washy overtones with medium long sustain. The bell is immense, and predictably the Mega Ride projects massive volume. Ideal for Punk, Metal, etc. Check out demos of Paiste 900 cymbals at Drum Center of Portsmouth.
