Dragon cymbals were made from B20 bronze in Wuhan, China and subsequently finished by Meinl in Germany. Cymbal\u003cbr\u003eThis is the dedicated 20\" China Ride, an unusual hybrid design intended to combine the dark, trashy character of a traditional Chinese cymbal with enough definition and weight to function as a ride. At 2180g, this example has substantial body while retaining the complex response associated with the heavily hand-hammered Dragon series.\u003cbr\u003eThis example carries the later-style Dragon markings without the earlier “Profile” designation and is marked West Germany.\u003cbr\u003eThe cymbal features extremely extensive irregular hammering across virtually the entire surface, fine traditional lathing, and the distinctive red Meinl\/Dragon graphics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67621888065810,"sku":null,"price":499.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1790\/1665\/files\/Meinl-Vintage-80s-20-Dragon-China-Ride.jpg?v=1792266863","url":"https:\/\/souldrums.com\/products\/meinl-vintage-80s-20-dragon-china-ride","provider":"Soul Drums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
