Due to the extra weight concentrated in the centre, the Dream Energy Series 22" Ride has a thick bell with loud cutting capabilities that are strong without jarring qualities - especially when played with the shaft of the stick. Unique to the ENERGY line, the bell is left unlathed focusing the weight of the cymbal in and around its centre. ENERGY's are also excellent recording cymbals that will have you sounding great in the studio. The name says it all. These cymbals are explosive. With a signature unfinished bell and considerably heavier weight, these cymbals mean business! A perfect complement to the Bliss and Contact series, the Energy series has all that and more. More volume, higher pitch, longer decays and still a truly hand-hammered masterpiece. They're the perfect addition to your "For Recording Only" collection.
