Ok here are some pictures. There is brilliant finish everywhere, and it covers the appearance of the lathing pretty well.

You bet! I have two Sound Formula reflector cymbals, the sound formula line was the predecessor of the signature line, and they look great! Check out my kit's thread (linked to in my signature), you can see what they look like. Cosmetically, they're about the same as the signature reflectors. And I assume that the sound is pretty similar too.

Wow, you can actually see yourself in that. Haha...

Yep, cosmetically it's pretty much a mirror with dents in it. The next time I play live I'm gonna have it completly clean so it throws the overhead lights everywhere.

I have a 20" Paiste Reflector dry ride and love it to death:

As you can see they pick up a heap of stick marks, so if you want to keep them looking nice and shiny clean them on a regular basis.

That said I really like the smooth surface instead of the rough lathe lines of normal sigs.

I guess it's a little off topic, but how do you like that hybrid china? I need to replace mine, I have a zildjian oriental "trash" china and it has a large LARGE crack in it. It's also too trashy, hence the name... what does yours sound like?

Two words: F-ing Sweet.

I got a chance to play an oriental trash recently and after hearing my K custom I wasn't too impressed with them.

But anyway, the hybrid is a pretty complex china, it's a lot darker and warmer than the oriental, but still has a bright attack thanks to the brilliant finished inner-half. I'd definately suggest checking one out. Personally I think it's Zildjian's best china on the market atm.
