The medium light weight Masters Dark Flat Ride models complement the Masters Series with a dark and complex variation on the typical Flat Ride characteristic. The Ping exhibits less of the very high frequencies of classic Paiste Flat Rides, and the low wash has a bit more dirt. The new model thus fits seamlessly into the sound character of the Masters Dark models.

Sound Character: Dark, smoky, warm, mellow. Fairly narrow range, complex mix. Soft, responsive feel, controllable. Warm, articulate ping with dark, smoky, slightly trashy wash. Well suited for fast, subtle playing in soft to medium loud situations.
