Heavy hand hammering is evident on both top, bottom, and bell. This cymbal is very collectible and holds important original features that often enhance value. The cymbal sounds very dark and trashy. Natural patina creates a warm ride. The lighter weight is very favorable for jazz. Using jazz wood tip sticks, this cymbal easily crashes yet does not wash out. The bell has a lower profile and cuts.
