Review: The weight on mine is 2440g, about the same as a Medium Ride. The definition was on par with one of those - not "pingy" like a heavier ride, but not a "tah" sound like a thin one. Underneath the definition is an exotic, light wash, that seemed almost sort of "spacey". Crashing it produced a "doomy" sound, which, to be honest, I didn't care for, nor do I see much use for. It doesn't have the sort of crystalline sound I'm used to in a flat ride, so in that regard Sabian did a great job at designing a unique cymbal.
