Developed in co-operation with the legendary drummer of Iron Maiden, Nicko McBrain, the "Powerslave" has a fairly dark, full, controlled, glassy, and shimmering sound character, with a fairly wide range, clean mix. Boasting a comfortable feel with a clear, full ping over a large, deep harmonic wash, this ride cymbal is extremely well suited for intricate stick work that calls for a strong bell in all types of Rock based music.
