Sonic Splice Notes

The 23" K Sweet Ride is one of those cymbals that can realistically serve as the centerpiece of a setup. It has enough definition to ride clearly, enough wash to feel musical, and enough give to crash beautifully when you lean into it. At 2840 grams, this example sits in a very usable range: not overly heavy or stiff, but still substantial enough to provide a clear ride voice.

The only notable cosmetic disclosure is a small finish/paint chip around part of the underside of the center hole. The center hole remains round, and this is not keyholing. Structurally, the cymbal is in excellent condition with no cracks, no keyholing, no flea bites, no dents, and no repairs.
