Review: The Mega Cup Chime is indeed a unique cymbal. It has 8 "rings", alternating between tightly lathed ones, and wholly unlathed ones. (The raw looking "rings" look a lot like Paiste's own Dry Dark Ride.)
The bottom of this heavy beast is raw in appearance, and shows the hammering quite well. The bell is enormous, and the flange is pronounced.
So, how does it sound? Hitting it on the edge produces a church bell-like sound, with plenty of dissonant (but pleasing) overtones. Tapping it with the tip of the stick subdues these overtones, and the sound "tightens" as you move towards the center of the cymbal. (By the time you reach the top of the bell, there are very few overtones.)
The bell measures 7" / 17.78cm so there's plenty of space to find your sound.

Review: "Finally, there's the 13" Mega Cup Chime. Looking like something an ancient warrior might wear into battle, it creates a formidable ding wherever and however you attack it. It's also open to beautiful effects, say if played with a soft beater, revealing a mellow drone beneath the sharp ping. A specialist extravagance, but indicative of the wide range of sounds Paiste is famous for."
