Find a trash one and hang it on up and give it a beat`n !!

Took a listen to mine, definitely not as dry as I thought. There's a persistent overtone, not a wash or roar, but just a non-specific tone between the pings. The real difference between it and typical heavy & ping rides, is that there's not much high-end on the Earth Ride. It's just kind of pingy and dull.

But it could be a desirable sound, depends what you're looking for. Again, not very high value, $120 is about right.

I had one for sale and i almost had to give the darn thing away. it's a one trick pony , if you like ping rides than this may be your cup of tea. And she is very heavy. I got sick of mine very fast

i have stainless pot and pan lids sound better

are they the Zildjian Pots n Pans :D

I had one and I bought it just because I needed a 20" A ride and found it cheap on ebay (probably like $75). I didn't know what to expect but figured I couldn't lose. I would pretty much echo the sentiments here.

Agreed with all the sentiments as well. I have one from the late 80's. It does exactly what I need it to do. Have every note be heard over the roar of guitars, keys and everything else. My band covers a lot of bases, and I do a surprising amount of delicate ride stick work for a rock band (uptempo country shuffles with the classic jazz ride cymbal pattern and the like). I can hear every note perfectly, and so can the audience. It's certainly not the cymbal to use if you want lots of wash and complex overtones. This is an anvil that is meant to be heard over everything!

I actually was laughing hysterically at this. Good comparison!

I have a 22"er from the 80's. It's big and heavy. Quite the unique sounding cymbal,not your garden variety. They do cut thru and can be heard well.
