Review: The sounds are low to mid frequencies predominantly with well balanced harmonics. Played softly, the cymbal is beckoning, mysterious and warm, simultaneously. Played forcefully, it is commanding but still blends amazingly well. Played louder widens the frequency range, kinda cool. It could be used for a slow, dirty, guitar group shuffle or artistically supporting an alto solo. It could be thrashed on, I suppose, in a severely amplified metal situation. The decay is short with no unpleasant lingering over or under tones. My favorite place to play it is in the curve of the upturned edge. The cymbal is usable and highly responsive, so if you know how to control your own playing, this cymbal will give you an endless palette of colors to work with. The sustain comes more from the reverberation caused by the shape rather than the mass sustaining the vibration, if you know what I'm saying.
