Dream Cymbals Contact Crash Ride Cymbals

The Contact Crash Ride leans traditional. Played with the tip it gives a warm ping and real articulation; leaned on, it swells into a warm wash. The shoulder is hammered to be forgiving, so it crashes fully rather than protesting the way a heavy ride does.

Each one is cast from Dream's B20 bronze, then hammered and lathed by hand rather than pressed, which is why two cymbals of the same size are never quite identical. Diameters offered here run 18 in, 19 in, 20 in and 22 in, each ordered as its own part number.
