Knock it out of the park winner!!

"Very solid ride cymbal with enough options to blend up and down....with whatever music, beat, fill, and intro that is needed. Replaces any need for specific for a high definition bell, another crash, or a high sweet projection sound. This cymbal.... for the $.... brings it all together. Whether in a 3 piece jazz club gig, 4 piece rock combo, 9 piece brass/organ show band, or in a 20 piece stage/studio band ensemble..... this cymbal will do it all. Use it correctly, be kind to it, and keep it polished..... it's a keeper."

Instant Classic

"Man! I haven't been this happy with a cymbal in years. I was fortunate enough to build and sonically match an A Custom based setup over a decade ago. I mix it up with other "cymbal sets" when recording tracks but live, I relied on the A Customs. I would often find myself supplanting the AC 20 inch ride with a 21 inch sweet ride (which is another gem) for a bit more than wash. I always wished I could find something in the middle and this is it and more. I haven't purchased a cymbal in years because I have enough but this one had a purpose. Not only did it seamlessly mesh with the other AC's it stood out to be my dream come true ride. So happy I came across this. It can ride, it can crash, but blending in the bell is a dream."

As Good As It Gets !

"I have played many ride cymbals and this is the one I have been looking for . You can ride the bow of this cymbal and cut through just about any style of music without it being too bright or washing out . It is a beast when crashed and that bell has such beautiful ping and tone . A great live instrument and particularly in the studio. What a gem ! On top of that , it is just a gorgeous cymbal. Beautiful finish and the white lettering is a nice touch."
