The Matt Halpern Signature Double Down Crash-Ride is a cymbal hammered versatile and dynamic hand that works completely like a ride or crash when necessary.
- Powerful and cutting range
- The combination the upper dark and without turning the turned bottom creates a unique mixture of sustain and control
- A light polished with sand jet in the upper part reduces the nuances for a short sustain
Matt Halkpern says:
“I needed this dish to be extremely dynamic in the sense that it was strong enough to go through the periphery sound intensity, but also decay fast enough to not master the voices or other instruments while playing live. I have used it in live shows, studio rooms of various sizes and different genres, and I can say with confidence that it does exactly what I expected in each of those scenarios.”.

This B20 alloy is composed of 80% copper and 20% tin, a alloy that can be difficult to work as it requires a great re-elaboration and recollected due to its natural state that is very fragile.
