This one is a "work in progress." Long story short, I realized that as much as I liked it, my 20" Paiste Twenty ride just wasn't going to spend much time on my kit - it's a heck of a general business ride, but I have a handful of fine general business rides. After a few failed attempts to find a new home for it, I decided to send it off to a cymbalsmith in the Los Angeles area named Matt Bettis.
I gave Matt license to run with the project, and that's exactly what he did. One of his favorite cymbal designs is a reverse china - similar to the Paiste "Novo China" design - and that's where he is taking this cymbal.
Matt's just about finished working on the cymbal, so I should have it in my hot little hands before too much longer. When I do, I of course will post pix and sound files. In the meantime, just to get this thread started, I'll post a few pictures:
1) What it was:
2) "In progress" (I love this photo!):
3) The most recent photo I've received from Matt:
