The Anatolian 20" Chocolate Move ride was one of the most talked-about ride cymbals of the 18 that were introduced with the JC series. This was due to two things:
The sound speaks for itself. It is earthy, dry, dark, and distinct, yet lively and inspiring. This un-lathed cymbal is not very thick, which is impressive in terms of craftsmanship because it couldn't be thinned down by lathing. The cymbal is cast to the correct weight and then hammered into shape. Voila!
As mentioned, the cymbal is very inspiring to play. The hybrid of a dry sound and a thin cymbal with good stiffness results in a fantastic product. This is reflected in the number of units we have sold so far.
