DRUM EXPO 2013: Dark Matter are heavy and totally un-lathed. While not at all gongy, they certainly can ring a bit more than a traditional lighter cymbal. Stick response is fantastic.

They currently come in several flavours, the Dark Matter Energy Rides, the Dark Matter Flat Earth Rides and the grand-daddy of the Dark Matter family, the Dark Matter Moon Rides: these are quite heavy, very dry and cutting. Not for the faint of heart. Recently added are Dark Matter Crashes and Hi-hats.

• Energy Rides: lathed under firing, large bells, medium weight, dry stick response.
• Flat Earth Rides: lathed under firing, micro bell, flat profile
