Description
22" STRATUS DRY RIDE
The 22" STRATUS DRY RIDE delivers articulate stick definition with a controlled, dark wash that responds immediately to dynamics. Its lightweight profile opens easily for crashing while maintaining the modern dry character that cuts through dense mixes without washing out. This cymbal excels in styles where clarity and projection matter as much as tonal control.
Tone & Character
Sharp stick definition pairs with a dark, controlled wash that sits well in contemporary drum sounds. The hammered bell provides strong projection and clarity, allowing the ride to cut through without sacrificing its dry aesthetic.
