Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 20" medium-thin had a better bell, and was— somewhat oddly again —lower-pitched than the thin model. (Although it wasn’t in the basement as far as overall tonality.) Its heavier weight made for more sustain, but sticking patterns were never obscured. Crashability would be a question of appropriate volume for the situation; it didn’t really open up at low to moderate impact."
