No cracks!

The center mounting hole is pretty much dead in circular but if you really look closely you can see a very minor keyhole. It's pretty much negligible but going to point out.

This cymbal sounds great!

Has a nice warm buttery sound. Not too washy but not to pingy either. It's got a good balance of stick articulation and sustain. Basically everything you'd want in a medium ride.

Has slight dark under tone but I wouldn't classify this as a dark cymbal. Still has the bright stick projection with a moderate dark drone in the sustain.

This is a very good sounding cymbal! I would certainly think this would make an awesome ride for most genres of music!

If you really dig into the edge of the ride with the shoulder of your stick you can crash it but I wouldn't say this is a crash ride! It would need to be used in a very loud and powerful application for this too work but it is crash-able.

The weight is approximately 3900 grams
