I had one of these for a period of time as I was looking for a gigging ride. I had this and a Hand Hammered Raw Bell ride on test at the same time and the Raw Bell won out. However, I really liked the bell and was tempted to keep it but had opportunity to give it back to the seller to move on again. At the money though they can't be faulted! I did have to check if it was the same one or not!
It is an excellent ride for the price. Its actually my new favourite. I think i may actually prefer it to my hh power bell even. Seems mental to say, perhaps its a honeymoon period. But meinl bells just seem sooooo sweet.
@@heavydrumsinc4816 if you ever want to sell your Power Bell ride.... The guy that I got this from has an original Hand Hammered PB ride which I tried on my kit and sounded incredible. Tried to get him to sell it but he was having none of it! Asked him to look out for one for me as he seem to get regular resupplies of second hand cymbals. Having said all that I still love my AAX Metal Ride. I bagged that for £100 about 15 years ago and is extremely cutting but very musical.
