For the genre i play this is a Very good, i added tape on the bottem when i did play and it was good. This is deffinatly a beginner to itermedient cymbal though, so if you have a tight budget this is the cymbal for you!

Until you compare it to other rides. Before I got this about 6 Months ago all I had was a B8 Crash/Ride (which I DO NOT reccomend). I needed a ride so I picked this up. For $100 dollars I was very happy for about 4 months. Then I realized all the little flaws on this ride added up. The long sustain, horrible wash and other un-satisfactory things that made me hate the ride. I then realized that I needed a higher end ride to get a really crisp, clean sound. I saved up and sold this ride to get the Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride (which is the greatest ever!). All in all, its good for a small price, but dont expect to be using it for long.

This ride is well worth the money. It is extremely strong! I have snapped sticks on this thing and it hasn't even dented. It rings VERY long, but you can put some tape on the bottom to fix that problem. I WOULD recommend this cymbal!!!

First, yes it does ring forever but I like it. If your a rock drummer nobody cares. The bell sounds great, same with the bow. It's good for beginners and innermediates.

this is a flipping savage cymbal. killer bell, awesome definition, yeah it rings, but if you're a rock drummer nobody cares. i've had alot or rides and this is by far the most fun to play.
