Kmicic Custom Dry Ride One of a kind 22”

Kmicic Custom Dry Ride One of a Kind 22” – Raw Definition of Time

In the world of cymbals, some instruments simply sound good — and others immediately reveal a distinct personality from the very first strike. The Kmicic Custom Dry Ride One of a Kind 22” firmly belongs to the second category. This is a hand-crafted cymbal designed for drummers who seek maximum control, dry response, and clear articulation without unnecessary overtones.

Handcrafted Character – Truly One of a Kind

Every cymbal from the One of a Kind series is created as an individual project — no duplication, no mass production. Each piece is hand-hammered and carefully finished to emphasize its unique sonic identity. As a result, every ride carries its own personality and reacts differently to dynamics and touch.

During the crafting process, techniques are applied to achieve a controlled frequency distribution and fast decay. The result? A focused, clear, and highly defined sound — ideal for modern playing styles where precision and clarity matter most.

Sound Profile – Dry, Defined, Controlled

The Kmicic Custom Dry Ride 22” delivers a precise stick attack with very limited sustain. This is a cymbal that does not wash out the mix but instead leaves space for the rest of the band. Its dry character makes it equally effective in studio sessions and live performances, especially where control and articulation are essential.

Key sound characteristics:

• short, controlled decay
• clear stick definition
• dark, slightly raw tonal character
• minimal unwanted overtones
• balanced response between bell and riding surface

22” Size – Depth Without Losing Control

The 22-inch diameter offers enough body and air in the sound while maintaining a dry overall profile. It strikes a perfect balance between depth and quick response — mature and full, yet controlled even during fast rhythmic passages.

Who Is It For?

This model is made for drummers playing:

• modern jazz and fusion
• alternative and indie music
• experimental genres
• modern rock and progressive styles
• studio sessions requiring articulation and clarity

If you are looking for a ride that responds to every nuance of your playing without dominating the mix, this cymbal can become the centerpiece of your setup.
