I was looking for a cymbal that was a little brighter than my current Zildjian K and K Customs cymbals.
This cymbal fits the bill perfectly, as its the Medium thin it is slightly darker than the normal Medium A cymbals but not too dark.
Being a new A is it also slightly thinner than the earlier A cymbals as Zildjian redesigned the series recently with the original 70s thinner profiles.
After purchasing this cymbal I've since gone on and bought a 20" to increase my range of sounds and colours within my kit.
So to sum up, Great sounding cymbal, dark but with plenty of cut and very loud. Ideal :-)
