Specs

Features:

The Benny Greb signature 18 Quick Sand Ride is influenced by iconic jazz and funk cymbal sounds of the 70s and 80s. This is a small but heavy ridemodeled after repurposed (and often repaired) symphonic cymbals players typically used during that period. The sound notch and sandblasted surface give the Quick Sand Ride that modified, pre-aged character with impeccable clarity, control, and complex tone. Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze. Heavy weight.
