Review: "The Heavy Bell Ride is described by Paiste as "the ultimate cymbal for large-venue performing and high-volume music." It features very fine, smooth lathing, no apparent hammering at all, an oversize bell, and a Reflector finish. (It's the only cymbal with such a finish in the Paiste line). The cymbal is heavy, and has a very controlled sound, so it doesn't build up and overpower the stick attack. The bell sound here is absolutely piercing. This cymbal has very little subtlety; it's designed to project, and it does so very convincingly."
