I have owned for fifteen years.
I just sold it because my tastes have changed and are now turning more washy cymbals, jazz.
This is a great cymbal, (unchanged even after years of play saw its thickness and texture), particularly in the sense that one must learn to master it
versatile (rock or hard saw the power of the dome even if it has a color that should perhaps not all, big-band possible, jazz rock, fusion, Latin, Afro ... on the other hand in too little training powerful and somewhat flexible) ....
and precise ping stands and stands out (like Avedis) even if not very brilliant, over very serious overtones and dark (normal is a K)
Surprising behind the drumkit, it also takes some getting used, but for the audience in live unplugged, to the sound engineer in recording or live amplified, and it is clear "Equalisation is" with the rest of the drumkit.
Those looking for a certain poetry and song with this cymbal will be hugely disappointed as it is not his goal. Dave Weckl who developed it with Zildjian wanted the surgery in the image of his game at the time.
BUT all this on one condition! It's good to find this model!
Of all those I have had the opportunity to play: only mine was worth the trip! Indeed the others were so thick Taules what sounded like serious and resonant bell or ice!! not very pleasant ride on a matter so cold. Surprising as the site Zildjian audio examples are carried out with one that does not sound terrible. Hard to make the pub!
It is better to move towards models very light longer to compensate for its hard texture. And she will marry better with a charley just as accurate.
Issue price: justified because there is not much good ride cymbals for 100 euros, right?
