This little chime is a real character piece – Mike Portnoy clearly knows what he’s doing. It’s got a beautiful, cutting bell tone that’s perfect for adding subtle rhythmic accents and atmospheric textures in progressive rock, metal, or any genre where you need something unique. It's a great addition to a kit, but understand it's a specialized tool, not a workhorse.
