Introducing the Matt Halpern Signature Crashride from the Byzance Dark Series! The Double Down Crash Ride, a signature model by Matt Halpern, drummer for the progressive metal band Periphery, is now available in the Byzance Dark Series. This is his second signature model, a versatile and dynamic hand-hammered cymbal that can function as either a ride or crash when needed, and also features a powerful, cutting bell sound. The size is set to 21 inches, and the front side has a [Dark] finish that is intentionally not razed, and is also lightly sandblasted. The rear is razed for a unique harmonic blend, sustain control, and a quick decay. Like the AC-DOUBLEDOWN, the Crash Ride features the Periphery logo on the front. "We needed a very dynamic cymbal that had enough volume to cut through the intensity of the Periphery sound, but also had a quick decay that wouldn't overwhelm vocals or other instruments in a live performance. We tested these cymbals live, in studio rooms of various sizes, and across a variety of genres, and can confidently say they delivered on our expectations in every scenario." -Matt Halpern- ●Byzance Dark Series Made from B20 bronze alloy, handcrafted for superior sound, unraised surface and dark sound. The Dark Series cymbals are not raised, allowing you to enjoy their natural appearance and sound quality. They are characterized by an unpretentious sound and extremely short sustain. Size: 21 inches
