These cymbals are tagged crash/ride because they are so versatile. Quite thin, they produce explosive crashes that get out of the way with medium decay, a soft but clear stick sound, unchoked musical bell tone and the most interesting, vibrant rolling sound we have ever encountered. There is just a hint of raw ocean or chili pepper in the tone. These BLISS Cymbals are perfectly suited for all musical styles, especially Jazz, Blues, Symphonic, pop, just about anywhere that making a rich full bodied musical statement is required.
