these cymbals are marketed under the name "Blast." a friend of mine picked up a bunch of them when he was in china- he picked the best ones out of the entire shop. they are all completely handmade, hammered, lathed, by 4 oldschool cymbal / gong makers. a great cymbal. 2300 grams, but it plays lighter than that- very nice wobble. has a nice complex wash, good stick definition, piercing bell.. really sweet as a crash, opens up right away, nice trashy roar. it has an unlathed strip and bell, similar to the istanbul agop sultan series.
will let it go for $100 + shipping - a steal for a completely handmade, great sounding cymbal!
