Review: "This is the epitome of a raw cymbal. It is not lathed at all, just hammered. Even with a brilliant finish, it still looked rough. That kind of surface doesn't polish up the way a lathed one does. And as it looks dark, it also sounds dark. You get lots of stick sound, and spread builds up quickly—threatening to rise almost to crash proportions. The overtones that are produced are almost disassociated in nature. Most of our review cymbals have one voice that is their signature. This one puts out many sounds at the same time. The bell sound is clear, but dark. As with most of the thinner cymbals, I found the stick response to be less than that of the medium-weight models. As the other cymbals need to be heard to be appreciated, this one needs to be experienced."
