They don't have any faults, just character.
And I do throw up badly made videos here from time to time just for the fun of it.

They have character hehe great, that's seeing it from another angle. That's why it's good to ask others opinions heheh thanks.
It's also the sound. Too much of that typical Paiste ping haha.
Fairly heavy ride as well and i prefer thinner rides.
Ok then, and I guess you are unable to put it for sale, just like me?
If the position of logo bothers you rub it off. Otherwise just play it till it “crashes” lol. It’s not just the cymbal but the plastic holder- some flat some round and size snd thickness of felt (it impacts sound to) . My Dream vintage Bliss crash ride was like a flying saucer and didn’t have good ride definition. I added tape underneath that worked but found I had a round cymals rest and small felt so put a flat one and a wide felt- like bottom hat felt. It sticks better now in ride and less spin. Perfect for quiet playing
Felt, I never tried that material on a cymbal.. And by chance I have some even in various colors. What dimension do you use? for what size of cymbal if you want to tell me.
I dunno. My guess would be that pissing and moaning about stuff is good therapy, especially during trying times.

heheh yeah!
Also, curiosity is good, and anti-curiosity is not.
It's very interesting so far, I am all for curiosity.
I'm not sure I'm on board with the sweet spot theory.
There's all kinds of different sounds I get from say a ride cymbal. Depending on where and how I hit it.
To take one of those sounds and call it the sweetest..which implies that the player aims for the sweet spot all the time, is misguided IMO.
Cymbals have lots of "sweet spots" depending on what I want.
I am not there yet but my K custom Dark Ride is awesome, i tried a couple of rided at the store yesterday and.. there was not a match for mine, according to my taste. I am going to exploit all of it if I can, everything I can reach, it's truly a musical instrument.. with a nasty character
I tend to agree with Larry-that's what's great about cymbals is where, how, what you hit them with you can generate all kinds of sweet sounds. Same goes for hi-hats which you can generate a similar multitude of sounds. Sort of the reason I don't understand having a huge multitude of cymbals (seems missing out exploring each one?). Heck I dropped my cowbell cause I can get a similar sound hitting the bell of hats and/or underneath hat tube-resonates nicely and I use it like a cowbell or clave for practice. I have a wood block and cowbell in a storage box I have to find since our recent move. TBH I spent decades playing cymbals one dimensionally-I whack it and get a sound. I thought that was it-but when I got my 22 in Zild K Con OMG what a palette of sounds I discovered-so then went back over all my cymbals and discovered pretty much the same-I'd hadn't really given many cymbals a fair chance in my naivety. Cymbals are beautiful things-just independent of any drum-and there are all kinds-which I guess is the reason people have so many LOL.
I will try to exploit everything I can and it's so true about having too much cymbals and not exploring all of them at all.. so so so true.. I bought a 4 piece drum kit and.. at first I thought it was not enough shells, that's foolish thinking.
Less is more.
I like what you say very much because I think the same thing, these cymbal like the Constantinople, I tried one yesterday at the store, they have a lot of different sounds to give, just like my K custom. They are impressive musical instrument in my opinion also, for some styles of music.
Good luck finding your block and bell.
I am going to try these cymbals right now, I have good motivation
