20 inch Bettis Custom Flat Ride

 

Home

You ever hear a nasty flat? No? Well, I'm not surprised, because I hadn't either until I got my hands on this little tramp. Most flats are nice, sweet sounding things that couldn't offend a nun if they tried. But, this little chick has a bad, bad attitude. She's raspy, trashy, quick to speak and even quicker to anger! She has a one of a kind voice that will no doubt be one of your favorites as soon as you overcome your fear of her. She started off as an odd-sounding Istanbul Agop Turk flat. I decided to mold her into something even more funky and laid on with some hammering and time on my cymbal lathe. She's a 20 that weighs in at a very thin 1850 grams, and I think she's about as cool as cool gets. Listen to that stick click. Listen to that crash. Where are you going to find another cymbal that sounds anything like her?
