This medium ride weighs in at 3073 grams, and was hammered into shape from a SABIAN cymbal blank. She features my Hard Top process of making cymbals. With Hardtops, I hammer only on the tops of the cymbals instead of both top and bottom. It increases the work-hardening of the playing surface for enhanced stick attack. I also left a ring of foundry-crust on top for even more stick definition.
