I do not own this, but the band that I am in has it, so I use it for my kit since it's better than the one I have. I am hard to please when it comes to ride cymbals, but this thing is perfect for my style of play! I had never found a ride that I really liked until I played this. The bell on this thing has the exact sound I have been looking for all my life! This thing also has a great sound for soft playing, and an even better sound when playing loud! For me, it's got to have a good loud sound and quiet sound for builds in the music, and this is perfect! When I get my new kit, I will be buying one of these right away!

THIS CYMBAL ROCKS! Ive had the Sabian AA dry ride for almost 14 years and it still sounds great! Probably one of the best cymbals on the market today! BUY IT!

I bought this ride to replace the original ride that came with my set, and I was amazed. I use a sabian hand hammered ride at my churh and this cymbol easily compares to the same sound and quality for about 2/3's of the price...I fell in love.

I got this ride a year ago to replace my old ride cuz it wasn't loud enough, and there was no ping. This ride solved my problem perfectly!!! It has a nice, loud ping that isn't too bright or clunky like some other rides. The bell may be small, but's loud and bright. This ride is very versatile, it can be loud, but can also be nice and soft for lighter playing which is great cuz I play all kinds of music. Overall, this ride is great from cold play to rise against

First off, this thing is LOUD. Whether you hit it as a crash or just tap it, it's going to be heard. I'm a very hard hitter and I had to change my style just to play this. But I love it. You can use it for metal, alternative, pop, jazz, whatever you want. I recommend it to anyone. Also no signs of cracking or wearing at all.
