21.5" Daddy Trio Ride Cymbal – Titanium Handmade

The Kmicic Daddy Trio 21.5” is an extraordinary handcrafted titanium cymbal created in collaboration with legendary drummer Chris Daddy Dave. Featuring a unique triangular shape, this cymbal pushes beyond traditional cymbal design to deliver an entirely new visual and sonic experience.

Its unconventional geometry creates a highly distinctive response. As a ride, the Daddy Trio remains dry, focused and exceptionally articulate, offering outstanding stick definition and precise control. Every note stays clear and readable, making the cymbal highly responsive and musical despite its experimental form.

The bell is loud, cutting and highly precise, projecting effortlessly through the mix with sharp articulation and strong presence.

When opened up as a crash, the cymbal transforms into an explosive, trashy voice filled with character and subtle oriental undertones. The irregular shape generates complex overtones and dynamic textures that feel expressive, raw and inspiring.

The Daddy Trio is not simply a cymbal — it is a creative instrument designed for drummers seeking individuality, inspiration and completely original sound possibilities.

Handcrafted from titanium and individually shaped by hand, every Daddy Trio cymbal possesses its own unique sonic identity.
