It's a broken Paiste ride turned into a 6.25" bell.
I really like the idea of repurposing old stuff like this.

Years ago I met a jazz drummer who had made an almost totally flat ride cymbal, super chalky and soft surface but an incredible sound. Only a slight bow towards the edges and no bell at all. Love these ideas and they often work out really well.

Flat rides are awesome :-) One of my wish-list items is a Meinl 22" Byzance flat ride, a bit pricy thou.

i bought a little z bell one time that i loved to introduce breakdowns with!
