Review: "This is a curious cymbal. The large, high-profile bell is unlathed. There is a 2"-wide lathed section just below the bell. The next 2 1/2" ring is raw, followed by the outer ring, which is lathed for 2 3/4". The entire surface is hammered, creating almost a leopard-skin effect on the unlathed parts.
The effect of the lathed and unlathed surfaces is what makes this cymbal so interesting. Hitting the outer lathed surface produced a hot, dark ride sound with lots of build. When I moved into the unlathed section, the sound dried out, giving much greater stick definition. Striking the next raw band created sounds like the outside, but slightly higher and more contained. The unlathed bell was dry and clear.
When this cymbal is played, waves of sound emanate off of it. This is quite a versatile ride —a cymbal of many stripes, if you will. If you play music with different textures and colors, grab one of these.
