This one weighs 2356 gms. I got it from a jazz drummer in Phili who was wanted me to sell it for him on eBay. I decided to keep it myself.

It has a very gradually sloping bell; what some call "integrated". It seems at first glance to be smaller than average, but I measured it from the bottom where it first starts it's upward slope and I found that it’s actually a normal size. But it's definitely flatter that most.

I tried to demonstrate the mult-tonal qualies of the bell here, by sampling various points around its circumference.
