Best I’ve bought

Saint Ra-7 27.05.2024

I’ve had trouble making a choice between this one or a zildjian and I’m glad I bought this one. Bell is big and easy to hit and sounds so great. Put some foam beneath it and sound guys at venues will be happy (even in studio).

just what I was looking for

Marco AG 26.07.2023

neither too harmonic nor excessively loud. just a bell that sounds rounded and a bit open on the edge

Very good for the price!

Karloo 21.01.2026

I've been using this for a while, but now I'll move back to Zildjian Mega Bell (can't beat that one!) but I'll keep it with me to play it again from time to time.
BUT, this cymbal is really good. I recommend to add a bit of dampening underneath it (some tape will do the work) to kill the extras and reduce the sustain. The bell is brutal, and any fellow death metal drummer out there is going to love it.

Kompakt, massiv und laut!

DryVeins 10.02.2021

Vorab: Dass das Becken nicht das perfekte Allround Ride ist, sollte jedem klar sein. Das Ride kann nur eins, sich mit einem lauten trockenen Ping und einem massiven glockenartigen Bellsound durchsetzen... aber genau das kann es richtig gut.
Ich hatte das Glück das Ride mit dem 18“ Big Bell Ride aus der Classics Custom Extreme Serie vergleichen zu können. Der Charakter beider Becken ist zwar identisch, jedoch überzeugt das Big Bell Ride aus der Classics Custom Dark Serie mit kontrollierteren Obertönen und einem angenehmeren Klangspektrum.
Ich würde das Becken jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Besonders empfehlenswert als Leftside Ride!
