Hmm. I too have a Ralph Peterson model ride cymbal, but it’s a 20” Oracle by Bosphorus (1959g). He must have made the cymbal maker rounds. Granted, the Oracle is a different manufacturer but it seems completely different from your Sabian. None of those large hammer marks, kind of a bowed profile, and it has the largest bell of any cymbal I’ve ever played. It has wide lathing on both sides, is very dark, but still has a fairly bright stick sound. I got it used for a great price and kinda like it. It’s a keeper. Love your channel, Rick, and look forward to every new video.

Mr. Rick Dior, do you know if The snare drum used to record Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon was a Ludwig Superphonic?
