  "Crowning piece of my entire Agop collection and seriously one amazing sounding ride cymbal for acoustic jazz playing situations. A darker fundamental pitch and more of an airy but deep in tone wash and spread at a thinner weight in this case combined this with some rather detailed and complex hand hammering and lathing top and bottom which really brought the woody stick click out for sitting on top for this ride. Not an easy feat at this weight with getting a defined stick sound but the cymbal artisans at Agop managed to pull it off. At this thin weight and size the full on crash sound is a wonder to behold to the ears too. Sounds like the roaring sea coming hitting a fine sand beach when full on fired up with a pair of mallets." - Stan
  
  "This ride offers a few key specs that are unique: a higher profile, smaller bell, and more mass than the standard SE Jazz model, as well as traditional lathing on the bottom and around the edge on top. This focuses and enhances the stick sound and offers a more complex wash underneath, while also giving a more pleasant crash sound and feel under the stick." - Michael Pfister
