Description

The Soultone 19" Extreme Ride is designed for the modern drummer who demands versatility and precision from their cymbals. Perfect for live performances and studio recordings alike, this ride cymbal delivers a dynamic range of sounds that can adapt to any musical style, from jazz to rock. Crafted with traditional hand-hammering techniques, it offers a blend of clear ping and rich undertones, ensuring your performance is always heard and felt.

The Soultone Extreme Ride also features a slightly unlathed bell, enhancing its projection and articulation.
