30" Ride cymbal

[Alcatraz]

I went into my local drum shop today and stood up right in front of the entrance was a Stagg 30" ride (yes 30 inch). The bell on it was about 10" in diameter and it weighed an absolute ton.
The shop owner said a few of the pro's had started using them, he mentioned Roger Taylor of Queen.

Has anyone on here:
a) Played one? How does it sound apart from LOUD.
b) Own one?

[Gnarkill]

a) no
b) no
But damn! 30" is pretty large (ok, it's extremely large!). Yes, I know that there is some dude playing a paiste 32" ride, but this is gigantic too!

I would hate to have to clean that one. I don't look forward to cleaning my 22" K.
