Yeah that is a big cymbal. I have no idea what it sounds like.
After months of searching and a little bit of luck (thank you Weezy) I was able to get my hands on the very Limited Edition Jimmy DeGrasso signature over ride cymbal. They only made 200 in production. It's a 23" ride with a massive bell larger than my hand. I am so excited for practice tomorrow. I'll set it up and can even take some sound clips if wanted.
Here are the pics! It's MASSIVE and weighs a TON

I'm glad that it worked out for you, Spaz. That's a whole lot of ride cymbal for $200.
Mmm... Saturns.
Wow! Great looking cymbal. $200? That was insane cheap! Saw another going for around $350. Soundfile was a little dark and huge bell sound. I really liked it. I wouldn't think it's too heavy for a normal HD straight stand. The bell looks like most of it's weight. It's probably between 9 and 10 lbs. Congrats!

Can't imagine a cymbal weighing 10 pounds.
1000 g =1 kg = 2.2 lb.
It would have to be nearly 5000 g
all the best...
I have a 21 sweet ride and I thought that it was heavy. Mine is sitting low over my floor tom on a straight double braced stand and it carries it pretty good. I probably would not hang that thing on a boom stand. By the way that is a beautiful cymbal man and a great deal. Let us know how it sound and how you mounted it.

it weighs exactly 10 pounds!
I just weighed myself and then weighed myself holding the cymbal. I couldn't believe it so I tried it three times got the exact same result each time.
nice ride Spaz, 10 lbs!. It would seem a boom on a rack would be much better than a boom stand by itself. I use an old Tama Stilt for my 21'' Z Light Power Ride and it still would tip over, but I have it extended pretty far. Made a modification to put the weight further back.
I like the ping i get on the Z and it will wash out ok when you lay into it but the bell sucks. Wanna trade bells?

Sound file or video!
I'll take a photo but I have a 22" ride on my Yamaha kit and it's super heavy also. I'm using a straight Yamaha stand and it's been great for years. So I'll try another stand like that on my rack. The PDP/DW are to tiny I know they would break.
I'll try to take my camera on Thursday for our show. I planned on taking it to practice Monday but our singer wussed out and cancelled practice cause he was "tired".
I love the looks of that cymbal..............very nice.
I also love to watch DeGrasso play his kit.
I play an old "A" Zildjian 22" heavy ride that I have had for many years.........still love it..........but that 23 looks awesome.

Suppose it's like having an ice bell or a Zil-bell in the center of your cymbal. Cool
all the best...
