The Vintage 1997 Ride features a lathed surface with a factory-applied coating that reduces brightness and enhances dryness. It delivers a controlled, focused sound with minimal wash and a strong, defined stick response. The tone is warm and complex, with a dry attack and short decay, making it ideal for jazz, hip-hop, funk, and studio applications where clarity and articulation are key. A versatile option for players seeking a vintage sound with modern reliability.
