I had the chance to buy this ride in a purse instrument for € 50 !!!!. If I know rather well the brand Paiste, I did not know this series too. What a surprise! This ride is powerful and offers a crystal-clear sound enough. We can say that the sound is rather close to a pro series as low-end. Excellent ping and very long. The only downside would be to emphasize at the bell. Do not over tighten the butterfly or risk losing a lot of sound there. In conclusion, it is a point I recommend ride smoothly.
