Here's a beautiful cymbal from Timothy Roberts, a modification of an Istanbul Mehmet Turk 21". Timothy lathed about 170 grams off and did extensive overhammering. Great stick, nice warmth and complexity, full and easy crash. A great one-cymbal option. $390 shipped.

Would have loved to hear what this 21 sounded like at the original 2120 gm.....which when dropped down to 20" is 1870 gm......which is usually a perfect low medium thin weight.

I checked, and it was originally about 2040; alas, I don't have a before soundfile. I tend to like very thin cymbals (my main is 22" and around 2009 :)). This one is nice and thin but still with enough stiffness and high enough profile to have great stick and not be overly washy.
