The Dark Matter Energy Ride 20" and 22" represent a wholly unique sound and look in a ride cymbal. Dark Matter cymbals are created from a proprietary process where the cymbals are fired more than once during their birth cycle. The extreme stresses and heat from this process create a cymbal that is so dramatically changed on a molecular level that they take months or aging to mature.

They are worth the wait. The sound is incredible-a deep powerful tone with ample high overtones to cut through any amplified situation. The bells feature the same coveted unlathed bells as the Energy series -loud and clear. In a close mic'ed studio application these cymbals will blow your ears away. Their unique burned finish make each a visually stunning work of art.

The sound is powerful but with an uncanny stick clarity making these a spectacular combination of dark sound but total clarity of definition. Though weighted as rides their unique personality make them awesome beasts of a crash when you hit em hard with huge long sustains.

Stimulate your grey matter-hit a Dark Matter.
