Review: (NOTE: This review takes place after the entire series was re-designed in 2001)

"I found the 20" K crash/ride very appealing because of its versatility. It has a darker attack than the dedicated rides, and it holds its tone well on long ride patterns. The crash sound is that of a true crash. When I got a ride pattern going and then put the stick shaft into the edge of the cymbal, the result was a distinct, medium-range crash that dissipated quickly enough that the ride momentum was never lost. Somehow Zildjian has engineered control into the crash of a crash/ride. It also has a nice, in-between bell sound. This is an impressive cymbal."
