Review: "This is a 14" cymbal with a rather large bell and a set of tambourine jingle disks attached to its outer edge. Playing it gently with a drumstick revealed a dry, metallic sound, which is due to the muffling effect of the disks on the cymbal. Hitting the cymbal a little harder gave it a combined cymbal/tambourine effect. The sustain is very short.

A variety of sounds can be produced with this cymbal, depending on the creativity of the percussionist. For example, hitting different areas of the large bell can produce different sounds, from high to low. It is also possible to get a combination of effects by hitting the cup and the body of the cymbal at the same time."
