A popular choice with a classic jazzy sound. With a super-sensitive response the stick definition is crystal clear. Dark and washy undertones emanate beneath but remain subtle. The 20 K Custom Dark Ride features an integrated bell sound with a controlled wash. Perfect for soft jazz grooves and quick ostinato passages. The cymbal is thin and responsive meaning it also crashes easily. The K Custom Dark Ride is ideal for jazz to light rock and everything in-between.
