Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The bell and most of the body of this full-profile cymbal are raw, with lathing on the outer 2" of the edge. The weight gives it great stick response, and the pitch is high and precise, including a clean and clear bell. Riding gives you some build-up, but it's under control. The pitch rises as you approach the bell, and falls as you near the lathed section. Play or crash there and the sound builds up to almost gong-like proportions. As on the Distortion Hats, the hammer marks are clustered towards the bell, and become sparser as you get closer to the lathed section. This ride sounds fairly conventional, but works great with the rest of the V-FX line."
