Review: "Fairly thick, with a variety of lathed and unlathed surfaces and special hammering patterns, the Flanger Bell is an unusually versatile multi-purpose effect cymbal. When crashed, it produces an absolutely shattering crash sound (more explosive than many China-types I've heard). When played with a stick on its top, it offers several distinctly different pitches and tonalities (depending on the area that is struck). I could visualize using this cymbal immediately adjacent to my hi-hat to obtain a wide variety of special effects."
