Review: " No weight was shown,but I'd gauge this cymbal to be somewhat lighter than a medium ride. As a result, its pitch was lower than that of a standard medium ride. The bell sound was nice, but I had to hit it with the shoulder of the stick rather than the tip to get the fullest sound.
Initial stick articulation was nice and clean. But riding with a fairly loud pattern caused the cymbal to build up an undercurrent of sound akin to that of a crash. Hitting it like a crash resulted in an almost gong-like sound. Given the opportunity, I'd look for a heavier Moderate model for a more satisfying ride performance."
