Ah, I finally found the model I like! After choosing the Medium Ride (Lost by the Post Office!...) which I exchanged for this model that is much more pleasant to play, I sincerely thank the entire S.A.V. team (Mr. Costa) and Guillaume for their dedication and availability which made it possible to find the cymbal lost by the postal services (but what is the registered Colissimo for?...), cymbal found in the warehouse of an import-export company, thanks again La Poste!!! The Dark Ride is thinner (medium thin) so less powerful but much more musical, softer to play, more mellow to the touch, much more comfortable in a jazz context with the possibility of being played as a crash; it doesn't get out of control when played fast, the ping is well defined with this little sustain in the lows, a joy to play! The hammering is manual on both sides (unlike the medium ride) which brings warmth and reduces all the bad crystalline and high frequencies, the ear suffers less! This cymbal will improve with time, I am sure! Many thanks again to Mr. Costa from S.A.V., Guillaume (for the speed of shipping) and the entire Woodbrass team for their professionalism and efficiency! See you soon, Emilio L. (Dordogne).
