For those who don't have the funds for what people would consider 'industry standard' and want to upgrade their ride cymbal, this is a great upgrade.
The stick definition is clear, the bell is loud and powerful, and it's ability to be used as a crash makes it incredibly versatile and dynamic.
That being said, the overtones are a bit harsh, and the bell exaggerates them a lot. Might take some getting used to.
But as a whole, a great step-up from your average entry level ride cymbal.
