'''Review:''' Paiste's 2002 10" Mega Bell is a departure from their usual Bell cymbals. This one features a radical curved profile, like that of a traditional church bell. Tapping it nearest the mount hole lets off a tight "ding" sound that "loosens" up with more sustain and overtones the further down towards the outside edge. Hitting this with the shank of the stick <b>really</b> opened this up in regards to overtones and volume. One thing I did notice was an odd sort of hum that existed regardless of where and how hard it was struck. It isn't enough to detract from the sound, but it was present.<br>
