Transferred from my post in the wuhan thread:
For those interested in more trashy jazzy cymbals with a turkish vibe like Old Ks, I'll say it's worth checking out the Dream Bliss range of cymbals. From the wuhan factory, 100% hand-crafted.

Basically, everyone's assessment is dead on, this is very dark and nasty, mine weighs 2035g and has some of the little flaws you see on other Wuhan cymbals, some edge nicks here and there, pits in the bronze, etc... I haven't spent but about 5 minutes playing it so far, wanted to get the sound file up, but it's real washy and might need something to tame it a bit, maybe even a few rivet holes. At slow tempos the stick remains pretty clear; stick def may improve after some age, though. The thickness is pretty uniform across the plate, so there is some wobble but nothing crazy like a Bosphorus. The crash is quite amazing, opens right-the-lovelovelovelove up and is loud. When I crashed it in the soundfile, I wasn't hitting it very hard at all, mostly just the tip of the stick. Here's a few pics of it:
