I recently got one of these pies, which was returned to the store by the previous owner, almost untouched. I immediately falled in love with it. It is musical, soft and warm. It's still setting down, losing much metallic ring and enhancing the soft cushion.

It feels great to ride on too, and it's a very serviceable crash. I have been a loyal UFIP player for many years, and this cymbal represents the first real strong pro-Zildjian argument.

I just got this ride and it is amazing. It has such a wonderfully expansive sonic pallete. This is a very versatile ride, not in the sense that it can be used in many different styles though.

This ride is versatile in itself. Elvin Jones could get twenty different sounds from just one ride cymbal. I shudder to think of the number of sounds he could get from this cymbal.

This cymbal is dry, wet, raw and aggressive, yet sensitive and delicate all together. The stick definition is very dry but this cymbal has plenty of wash and spread. The crash is very similar to the nastiness of a china.

If you are looking for a light cymbal that sounds like the beauty of a K Constantinople crossed with an A China Trash, get this cymbal. I have yet to get a chance to really lay into this cymbal on a gig, but I can't wait to.

Get it!
