23" Dry Ride Cymbal – Titanium Handmade (One of a Kind)

23" Dry Ride Cymbal – Titanium Handmade (One of a Kind)

One of Adam’s favourite cymbals, this handcrafted titanium ride delivers a highly musical balance between precision, dirt and control. While deeply rooted in a jazz-oriented feel, its versatility allows it to perform naturally across styles ranging from jazz to metal.

The cymbal has a dry and controlled character, yet during playing it reveals a slightly dirty, textured tone that adds personality and depth. Despite this raw edge, it remains highly precise with clear stick definition and focused articulation.

When opened up as a crash, it introduces a subtle touch of trashiness, creating a dynamic and expressive response without losing control.

Each cymbal is cold-shaped and hand-finished, ensuring a one-of-a-kind sonic identity.
