Review: Mine weighed in at 2759 grams, which is a terrific weight for this model. Using a wood-tipped stick, it had a strong "ping" with a bright-ish sound, and the warmth that you'd expect from this series. Played with nylon-tipped sticks actually softened the sound, taking away some of the harshness of a cymbal of this weight.
