I own the first version - Great Cymbal

Posted by DrummerJ from Atlanta on Aug 12, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Active Musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues, Rock, Pop

I have the first version of this cymbal and it is a little thicker than the current redesign. Smoky ping with a nice dark spread. Great stick definition at low volumes and still rocks when you spank it with a stick shoulder. The bell has a nice character but is not as forgiving of sloppy playing like some larger bell rides. At almost 7 pounds it can be a powerful ride but it also has a great refined quality to its sound range.

High Def K Custom

Posted by TheJid2112 from Greeley, CO on Oct 1, 2007

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Active musican. 21 Years. Play by myself however

Reviewer's Play Style: Prog rock/metal. Dream Theater, DragonForce

I Had been playing a 22" Z Custom and 20" Paiste Sig Dark Dry rides for awhile. I needed something with more wash and not such a distinctive TING sound. After hours of playing with many rides, I felt the High Def was it. I love the "left natural" look. The un-lathed bell, and the wavy grooves covering the cymbal. The sound is perfect for me. Played lightly, I have my definition, small about of ting/ping, and the wash is hiding out in the back. Lay into the ride more, and the wash really shines out and the ping is still present without taking over. The bell might not be that loud compared to most rides, but if you keep playing only the bell, you can still get some wash. My two cents: This ride does everything I need it to. From jazz to prog-metal.
