While lots of focus is given to size, weight, hammering, and lathing, the profile of the cymbal has a tremendous impact on the sound and playability of a cymbal. In this episode we explore and demonstrate the profiles of four different cymbals:

1. 22” Sabian HH Jazz Ride (Modified)
2. 20” Zildjian K Custom Dark
3. 20” Zildjian Oriental Crash of Doom
4. Raw Zildjian Blank
