Type and Construcion
:
This cymbal is a 21'' ride. It is also a medium/thin, the way Zildjian approached this was by hammering the bell into a medium weight, and the further out on the ride you go, the thiner it becomes.
This method of hammering makes it a great ride in the bell, out to the middle of the cymbal, and because of the thin edge, it is also a very good crash cymbal. It is a B20 alloy, machine hammered, and in a traditional finish, all equaling a very warm, and responsive piece of musical bliss.

This ride has a small overtone, enough to manipulate, and turn into a washy crash/ride when desired. You can also hone in on it's warm tones, and make it into a great jazz ride.
Reliability/Durability

I gave this a 6 because it is a medium thin, so heavy hitter may want to be ware.

I have been playing for about ten years, and this is by far my fav. ride that i could afford. If this was ever stolen, or lost, i would buy another, the exact same.
