Turkish Cymbals X-TR Dark Ride – Dark precision
The X-TR Dark Ride by Turkish Cymbals is a ride cymbal with a dark, deep and driving character. The X-TR Dark series is the dark voice of the X-TR family: Turkish Cymbals craftsmanship from Istanbul and modern production, combined with a large hammer pattern and a dark finish. The result is a full sound with deep overtones and a shorter sustain than Brilliant and Classic, while the Medium weight gives the cymbals a warm, driving tone. In terms of price, X-TR is one of the most affordable B20 series from Turkish Cymbals – worth a look for beginners and pros alike. In the USA, the series is known as Meta Dark: these are the same cymbals from Istanbul.
Sound character: dark, deep and driving
At 22", the X-TR Dark Ride has plenty of volume and depth, while the stick definition on the bow stays clear. The moderate wash adds atmosphere to your playing without flooding the mix. The bell responds superbly – it’s focused, projects well and works nicely for rhythmic accents. The short sustain and deep overtones keep the sound clear and uncluttered, even with busy patterns.
Applications: grunge, rock, funk, blues and jazz fusion
If a dark, controlled ride matters more to you than brilliance, the X-TR Dark Ride was made with you in mind. In a grunge or rock band, it carries driving ride patterns that stay clear even next to loud guitars. Over funk and blues grooves, stick definition and bell come through clearly, and in jazz fusion the moderate wash creates a warm, atmospheric bed of sound. Combined with the X-TR Dark Hi-Hat, your setup sounds dark and cohesive from the hi-hat right up to the ride bell.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every X-TR Dark cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin. The bronze is cast, hammered partly by hand and partly by machine, and then lathed. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern production ensures consistent sound quality across all sizes and models. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring the X-TR series straight to you – no middlemen.
