Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Masters series was born from an ambitious project: an initial assembly of twelve rides, each carefully crafted from CuSn20 bronze to achieve high sonic ideals suited to many musical contexts. In 2014, the range expanded with three crashes and two hi-hats to extend this unique sonic atmosphere to other cymbal families. The Masters synthesize decades of cymbal-making expertise, inspired by international drummers, with a clear demand: to offer a refined, expressive, and immediately recognizable sound signature.
Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument
This Masters series Crash Ride is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers seeking a cymbal more "interactive" than a standard model: sensitive response, nuanced touch, and a wide palette of colors. It excels in styles where dynamics are key (modern jazz, fusion, sophisticated pop, indie, cinematic music), while remaining relevant in rock when a darker, deeper, and less "bright" sound than a projection-type cymbal is preferred.
