I would never have chosen anything as quirky as this as a main ride (It would work though), but as a second ride cymbal it's like having an extra gear in the gearbox. The 19 inch size means higher pitch, which I like. The A series usually means a low resonance, which I don't, but the rivets/sizzles perform well at transferring this energy into a nice wash. I was rather wary of rivets, as often they are added by the player to change a sound which has not been pleasing. These are well balanced and the overall result is good. The hammering is very light with small dents, with the lathing also very fine and covering the whole surface right up the bell. This would be expected to produce less wash than deep heavy hammering. The 3 rivets produce the wash to just the right level and it is quite...

One of the best sounding cymbal I've ever heard in my life
