Great sound!
I play in a heavy and psychedelic band and this cymbal is awesome. It helps me getting the moods I want and it does it well. The cymbal will explode if you hit it hard which I need while rocking out but will deliver a great shimmer when played softly. I wanted to try the 22" as I generally use bigger cymbals (15 hats, 18 and 20 crashes, 21 or 22 rides etc) but the 21" does the job. The bell isn't as big as I wished, I need to aim at it with care if I want to get the bell sound only. But that shimmer, man, it's as good as any Zildjian I played.

This solved all my problems
It's a fine ride!
Amazing, sort of dark-ish tone (but not too dark)
The Bell sound is soft and bright to my ears, it does absolutely great on recordings and also crashes pretty nicely for a 21" ride cymbal.
It's obviously great for jazz (hence the name), but I can also see it work on blues, funky music or even folk rock, new age or experimental music.
It's not very loud, so I'm particularly happy about that, since I don't like rehearsing at 160dB and don't hate my own ears.
Another thing, albeit subjective, is: it sounds like rain to me. You start playing on it and it's like a cloudburst.
Goosebumps!
Will always get another one, should I somehow break it one day.

An amazing cymbal for the price!
I bought this cymbal as a mellow 'lighter' ride based on the many good reviews, and I wasn't disappointed.
The cymbal is med-light (2200g) and bendable, with a smaller bell and has a lovely 'shimmery' sound, with nice woody stick definition and a Zildjian K-like amount of complexity. It crashes nicely too, although it is definitely a mellow sounding cymbal and is more suited to quieter settings.
I can't really fault the sound or the quality for the price.

Uniqe
After using it for 5 years this ride is absolutely my favorite, I love how it sound and I love the feedback coming from it while playing and when playing with different sticks.
To me it's very versatile and unique, and I instantly miss it if I play on a different ride.
