The Dream Cymbals Dark Matter Flat Earth Ride is a truly unique, hand-crafted cymbal that challenges the conventions of modern cymbal design while delivering a deeply musical and earthy voice. The Dark Matter Flat Earth Ride is an unlathed cymbal forged from high-quality B20 bronze, each ride cymbal is meticulously hand-hammered and undergoes Dream’s signature Dark Matter process: an innovative multi-stage firing and treatment technique that gives the cymbal its striking raw surface and dense, smoky tonality. A unique yet versatile ride cymbal, The Dark Matter Flat Earth ride features a minimal bell which contributes to the unique tick sound you create when playing with the tip of the stick, responding to light touches with a dark shimmer and opens up with a rich, trashy complexity when played harder. It has a short sustain and quick decay, making it a fantastic choice for players who want precise articulation without excessive ring. Available in 20” and 22”.
