20" Paiste (1979) Sound Creation Dark Ride
Near mint condition 20” Paiste Sound Creation Dark Ride from 1979. I’ve came across a couple of 20” Dark Rides in the past and most of them had a bit too much of that gongy sound to it. This one on the other hand is way more balanced without loosing the main characteristics of the dark ride. It’s dark, complex and very expressive, but somehow remains versatile in usage. For the demo Inised regular Vic Firth 5A sticks. If you’d switch to Peter Erskine Ride sticks for instance, it would become even more suitable for jazz or other adventurous genres.
As mentioned, the cymbal has been played, has build up a bit of patina over the years, but for the rest it really is spotless!
