This is a versatile ride that can serve quite a lot of situations. A light, complex sounding ride cymbal. It has a larger bell than other Agop models I have played. I thought it may be heavier, but it surprisingly wasn't. A mellow sounding body that feels great to play with a bell that has enough ping to it. The wash is really, really nice, very crashable cymbal. I bought it to be an all-in-one ride that can crash, and it does this very well while still sitting nicely in the mix.
