24" BLISS Small Bell Flat Ride

The low profile and small half cup combined with a slightly thicker cymbal have created the ultimate BLISS ride.

The stick sound is very clear, a little soft in feel but still responsive. The bell, though a small target is clear and pitched, never brash. The most outstanding feature is the simmering huge pot of broth that washes under that clear but complex stick sound when riding.

The tones are complex but more controlled than the crash ride 22, but support the ride pattern with a warm intensity that can leap out with thunder when coaxed. The overtones are a subtle mix that won’t get in the way of the rest of the band but also wont let the bottom fall out of the time. The time is supported on a rolling wave of surf, with a roar in the distance.
