Are you looking for a ride cymbal with a clear stick attack, surrounded by a crisp and pleasant sound? A ride cymbal that not only articulates beautifully but also wraps your playing in a warm, crisp tone?
The Casablanca series from CymbalWorks creates some truly ingenious rides in many ways. Rides that can do exactly what’s described above – namely, a cymbal that strikes the delicate balance between tone and articulation, and not just at "jazz playing strength."
This particular model has a lovely "golden" tone with a medium wash, yet maintains a distinct stick definition. This makes the cymbal highly versatile – without being boring. On the contrary, the slightly dry attack is just dry enough to make playing both inspiring and musical.
In terms of style, this cymbal covers almost everything. Players of soul, funk, jazz, and pop might find the sound especially appealing, but in principle, it handles all genres really well, delivering both volume and a satisfying stick attack.
A fantastic ride cymbal for… well, all genres – really!
