The purpose of the mini bell on this cymbal is to place it’s sonic characteristics somewhere between a flat ride and a normal ride.

The bell was hand hammered and serves a few functions:

- to add a little more top end to the spread and voice

- to improve the crash response

- to increase the tension at the upper bow area and improve the consistency of pitch throughout the playing area.

This is a dark and complex ride with a slightly simplified spread, similar in characteristic to a flat ride. The stick stays way on top and has a nice woody click to it.
