Hand made and signed by Paul Francis under the bell.
That opening attack is magnificent. And it decays fairly quickly so it gets out of the way. Has a clean and clear Paiste adjacent tone but with more warmth. Cuts exceptionally well without clanking. Solid rounded over bell - golden lathing with beautiful Hand Hammering.
Blooms full but not overly trashy or complex. Controlled and clean sounding.

As promised, this 17” makes a controlled Light Warm Ride with a light touch. It’s quick, responsive and very controlled with a golden mellow tone.
Use it for damn near anything. Any style. And gig.

And it’s LESS THAN a regular-ass big box store humdrum Zildjian.
