Review: "Now this time the name is right on the money. This cymbal is dry indeed; its unlathed surface produces a distinct stick ping with no accompanying "shimmer" or "sibilance" whatsoever. And that stick ping is, indeed, dark-sounding: deep in pitch, warm, and funky. (The cymbal is also actually dark in color; its unlathed surface retains the look it had when it left the cymbal oven.) With a big, heavy bell, the cymbal can build up a bit of a gongy roar when ridden fast and hard. Those who are looking for the ride-cymbal equivalent of a tuba should check this guy out."
