I used to have one ride for a great ping and then a second one for this terrific bell sound. Worked well for a long time, and then finally I decided there had to be "one ride cymbal to rule them all." (Too much?)

Anyway, I found this Ride at Guitar Center probably around the time the Classics Custom line came out (2011, or thereabouts). I got it with the intention to start playing drums again...and then didn't. So this cymbal has probably been played twice in it's life. It's lived in my cymbal bag in storage and now, it's time to go.

The finish is so perfect, it's essentially a mirror. The tag is even still on the back!

There's a few lines on the back that either the ppl at Meinl put on it or the ppl at Guitar Center did whilst stocking it originally because it came to me with these little imperfections. I can't even feel them under my fingers, so it might be just cosmetic. They are so minute I debated even mentioning them, but I'd rather you get the full story on this cymbal rather than ask after the fact.

It's round, smoothy, shiny and practically mint. If you want a video, hit me up and I'll film something for you real quick.
