I'm a drummer/percussionist who dabbles on bass. I love both buying and selling on eBay because I love trying out new gear ( although I'm chilling on that a bit now as I really love my gear)). I don't do this expecting to make big money, although a bit of profit is nice for sure, but mostly to offset the expenses of gear I've acquired. I feel I'm honest and reasonable, a good communincator, a run this like a business where I get you your item pretty quickly.

One Trick Pony
This is a cool cymbal for what it does but note that it only does one thing, makes an almost mini China cymbal accent that's bright and kind of crunchy. It's a cool sound but that's all you get and truthfully I have Wuhan splashes with much more depth than this guy in that I got for $32. Mind you it's not a bad sounding cymbal but it's limited. For a drummer like me who has a small kit and room for only a couple of crashes and one effects cymbal it doesn't offer the variety of sound I need. However if you have a big set with lots of cymbal stands it would be a real nice to add on for hitting at just the right spot.

Great even tone.
This is a very beautiful and versatile ride cymbal. Its close lathing pattern gives it a nice balance between a ping and wash tone. My only issues with it is it seems too thick to crash properly for me, even with heavier sticks. Also the wash can sort of build to a big droning noise that's kinda cool but maybe not for everyone. Despite that still a very even and pretty sounding cymbal, almost reminds me of a Paiste.
