Turkish Cymbals Dark Hammer Ride – Dark precision
The Dark Hammer Ride by Turkish Cymbals is a ride cymbal with a dark underlying character and a powerful voice. You can spot the Dark Hammer series at first glance by the horizontal stripes running across the entire surface. Lathing, oven firing and a special acid treatment create this texture, which makes the sound drier, more direct and more articulate. As a Medium-Thin model, the Ride responds quickly.
Sound character: dry, dark and clearly defined
Whatever you play on the bow, you hear every stroke: the stick sound is dry and direct, the ping pleasantly woody. The wash stays controlled and dark – instead of shimmer flooding the mix, you get an earthy, focused sound. The bell is lathed and oven-fired; it delivers a dark, deep tone and powerful accents. Despite its light build, the Ride is loud and assertive. Size shapes the sound: a 20" responds faster, while a 24" offers more volume and depth.
Applications: traditional jazz, jazz fusion, soul, R'n'B, Latin, funk and grunge
Its rare combination of dryness and volume makes the Dark Hammer Ride versatile. Traditional jazz gets a clearly articulated ride pattern that never sprawls. In jazz fusion and Latin, the precise stick definition keeps even complex rhythms easy to follow. For soul, R'n'B and funk, the dry, compact sound carries the groove without superfluous overtones, and in grunge the Ride stands up powerfully to walls of amps. If you also want the shimmer of rivets, you’ll find it in the Dark Hammer Sizzle Ride.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Dark Hammer cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, where handmade B20 bronze cymbals have been crafted for more than 25 years. The bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – is cast by hand, heated in traditional furnaces and hammered by experienced master craftsmen, stroke by stroke. Only then does the cymbal receive its stripe pattern, in several stages – a process that takes a great deal of experience with the material. Because casting and hammering are done by hand, every Dark Hammer cymbal sounds just a little different. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring this craft straight to you – no middlemen.
