Review: "The 22" Wide Ride surprised me. I guess I expected a larger version of the 20". (After all, it shares the same "wide" designation.) But the bell displayed less hammering, the profile was lower, and the playing response was more direct. Even the feel was a little stiffer.

The reasons for these disparities dawned on me after playing the cymbal for a little while. Stanton's thing is about contrast, right? Here we have an extremely articulate ride cymbal that can project, but that's not overly heavy. Owing to its low profile, it generates low frequency overtones that tie it nicely into the ensemble. "Push crashes" (short accents played with the shank of the stick) jump out and then rear back.

When I played this ride with mallets, it resisted crashing ever so slightly. Perhaps this was due to the muting effect of the underside lathing. But with a little playing effort the sound grew into a hearty roar."
