Review: I don’t have a weight in this cymbal but I will say that I don’t think it having the name “heavy” describes the cymbal well at all. The cymbal really is very light and thin feeling, and very crashable. Unlike a normal heavy ride. It has a nice light hit and jazz-y sound to it. It is a really wonderful ride!

Review: "I was able to test both a 20" and a 22" heavy ride and both had a lot of 'ping', no blur at high speed and a shallow profile. The larger one had a little more gong to it and a lower pitch. Neither of these would work as a 'Crash' cymbal. There was also an 18" 'Heavy ride' which seemed to me to be much thinner, with a delicate sound, rounder and with less 'ping'."
