This ride is awesome! I’m also a drummer and I have a lot of experience with picking cymbals, this one has a really nice articulation that cuts through the mix super beautifully. It was definitely meant to be Sabian’s rebuttal to Zildjian’s “Ping Ride,” it has that same essential character that the Ping Ride has. It has the slightest keyholing going on, like 1 out of 10 on the scale of keyholing, but nothing too crazy. No cracks, it is in beautiful vintage condition. Great ride!
