I bought this cymbal elsewhere, and slightly used. From the first moment I heard it, I knew it's the ride I had been looking for. It sounds amazing when used as a ride and it's got a full sound when used as a crash. Most rides, used as a crash sound to "Gongy." Not the case here. Great cymbal!

This cymbal is great. I picked it up a few weeks ago at my local drum shop. ITS GREAT!!!! If you use thin sticks or nylon tips then you get a lovely ping sound. If you use heavy sticks you will get a more washy tone. It sounds great when recording too. The decay is REALLY slow but thats a good thing for me when i have to use my ride as a crash. Dont pass this up because of the price tag. YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!!!!

This is an amazing sounding cymbal. I use it as a crash cymbal. It is very loud and has alot of wash with a loud pingy sounding bell for beautiful cutting bell shots. It is on the expensive side but well worth it.

I have been looking for a really good ride.

I tryied many cymbals, many of them more expensive than A Custom, but I would prefer it because is a very versatile cymbal. It is washy for jazz and crash perfect for other styles.

I made a very good choice.

Good wash ride

This is a great ride although it has more wash than ping. It plays well in settings where loud playing is not required. What I have noticed is that This cymbal (like all I suppose) sounds better with age. I've also noticed that using a light stick on it gives it a nice "click" while a heavier stick brings out much more ping. In mellow settings this cymbal is great. I louder rock settings go to a heavier ping cymbal.
