The Zultan 20" Dark Matter Ride is a striking blend of raw character and modern precision—designed for drummers who demand both musicality and mystique from their ride cymbal. Handmade in Turkey from B20 bronze, this cymbal offers a deeply complex soundscape, with a dry, dark voice that remains articulate under even the lightest touch.

True to its name, the Dark Matter Ride is all about texture. Its unlathed surface and dark finish give it a haunting, earthy aesthetic, while the hammered profile adds layers of sonic richness and controlled wash. The stick definition is tight and clear—especially under dynamic playing—making it perfect for jazz, fusion, and atmospheric rock. Meanwhile, the bell is dry and focused, adding punctuation without overwhelming the mix.

This pre-owned cymbal has been carefully tested and approved by the team at Musicmaker, and it’s in excellent condition with a beautifully played-in feel. The surface wear only adds to the character, helping this ride open up quickly and sit beautifully in any kit.

Whether you're crafting ambient grooves, laying down textured rhythms, or simply looking to add a darker voice to your cymbal setup, the Zultan Dark Matter Ride delivers with sophistication, mood, and unmistakable class.
