Beautiful, i plan to seriously buy this. I've heard the same cymbal in different sizes and unfortunately size does matter. Although it is huge and, in another brighter video showing the same size 24", it wobbles when played but does not make a washy sound despite its size. And the bell? hooweee.... Greatest cymbal i have ever heard.
So not only does this cymbal have great stick definition and lots of volume, but beautiful overtones also? Somebody get me some tissues to clean off my keyboard.
This cymbal is pretty dry and the bell is quite tight. May be the stick too. I'd use a bigger stick and maybe even the butt end to get more out of it. Still sounds good though.
could you use this cymbal for rock or just metal? it sounds like a great rock ride

Although I have a wonderful vintage 24 2002 medium ride I'm absolutely going to get one of those beasts!

Is it crashable?

@deftones720 Doubtfull, It's huge and heavy. It would have a very loud, abrasive crash.

I'm a Paiste fan but I like this cymbal very much. Way better than the HH PowerBell in my opinion...

It's awesome but man it's expensive... it's like 400 euros :|:|:| (or at least at most music shops in Holland...)

How does the 22" compare to the 24"?
shent20 2 years ago
the 24" is 2" bigger than the 22", obviously more wash and a louder bell
TomakaBonzo 2 years ago
And the pitch will be lower and projection of the bow louder as well.
a1gold174 2 years ago
It's really good, pretty much the same tone, just lower pitch. The bell can freakin' SING.
